You may want to change the input dimensions prior to creating user provided table sections. Select
to do so.This user-provided section allows you to specify a tapered I-Section with an optional composite top flange. For I sections with a bottom steel plates, you must create a prismatic wide flange section. Alternatively, you may use a tapered I section when a non-composite section is required.

If positive values are entered, then those values are used for each of these section properties. If a zero is entered, then the program will calculate these values. If a negative value is used, then the absolute value of each is applied as a factor for that section property.
The remaining section properties are calculated at finite points along the section for use in the analysis.
