(blue star) Click three-dots icon on Top Flange Material cells and select a Material as A709 50.


The reason for selecting the material parameter instead of importing its value is that the material objects have already been imported previously.

If you have reached this stage and you don't have a material to select, and if you want to use the Import Button, you can refer to the Quick Tip.
