	Enter the Start Station as 0.	Image Added
5	If the user enters the length along the girder, the end station and Station Difference will be calculated automatically. Conversely, if the user enters the end station, the length and Station Difference data will be calculated automatically.
6	Set the Length parameter to 100. After this operation, the End Station and Station Difference parameters will be automatically calculated.	Image Added
7	Set the Station Difference parameter to 120. After this operation, the End Station and Length parameters will be automatically calculated.	Image Added
8	Set the Start Station parameter to 36. After this operation, the End Station, Station Difference and Length parameters will be automatically calculated.	Image Added
9	Please enter the following values sequentially: 1^st row - Start Station: 0, End Station: 113.30, Top Flange Width: 16 2^nd row - Start Station: 113.30, End Station: 136.20, Top Flange Width: 21 3^rd row - Start Station: 136.20, End Station: 156.20, Top Flange Width: 21 4^th row - Start Station: 156.20, End Station: 176.20, Top Flange Width: 21 5^th row - Start Station: 176.20, End Station: 197.30, Top Flange Width: 21 6^th row - Start Station: 197.30, End Station: 361.30, Top Flange Width: 18	Image Added

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.
