Wide Flange dialog
Used to specify the section properties for a wide flange user defined table section.
Opens when you click Add in the User Table Manager dialog when a Wide Flange section table is selected.
Note: Refer to
TR.19.1 Wide Flange for detailed descriptions on properties of Wide Flange sections in User Steel tables.
Tip: To generate a tapered wide flange section, use an I Section UPT section instead.
