Select custom section property types using a design parameter

We have recently encountered an issue whereby the software will automatically assume that a custom section is an I-section (W-Section) for code checking purposes. This is not ideal if the section is, for example a modified RHS section, for which the code checks are quite different.

The workaround is to force the custom section properties into the relevant section properties table (RHS, SHS etc) so the software thinks it is an RHS / SHS. This is cumbersome.

Please can you include a "GST" design parameter similar to the one for EN 1993-1-1:2005, which would allow users to select a radio button to tell the software which section to check against easily?

    Thank you for posting this idea. However you have not said which design code you are suggesting this parameter should be added to?
