Used to arrange the pier cross section. A predefined rectangular cross section is provided, in which width and height can be modified as required.
By clicking on the arrow beside the selection edit box the cross section type can be chosen from a list - currently there is only one type available (CRect1). The values of the width and height of the cross section are displayed in edit boxes below, where they can be adapted.
