ADD Z section under user table manger option

As the use of cold form sections becomes more prevalent, it's essential for STAAD to support C and Z shapes more comprehensively. These sections vary significantly across manufacturers and are not always available in the STAAD database. Furthermore, when users attempt to create these sections from UPT FILE, the design is often unsupported by STAAD. Please consider adding the option for Z sections to facilitate easier usage.

    Thank you for posting this idea. Z shapes are supported as a Standard database shape. You can create you own database and add a table.
