Follow the next steps to create different section definitions that OpenBrIM provides.

1	Enter a Section under Name.
2	Import a material.
3	From any column of the added row, click on three-dots icon to open Section Editor panel.
4	You can open the tab which includes Polygon, Template, Rebar and Tendon by clicking Shapes icon at the left top side of the screen.
5	To define a polygon shape, click to Polygon at Shapes tab, then click the coordinates of an arbitrary shape.
6	Quick Tip You can rechange the locations by clicking ‘Points Spreadsheet’ after you assign the shape.
7	To utilize a Template click Template.
8	If you don’t have a material already imported (or defined as custom), you can import by clicking Import. If you have, just select it from the Material drop-down.
9	Edit dimensions of the shape to create the section. Click to Import.
10	After you import the section, it will show up on the analytical view.
11	To add rebars to your section click Rebar at the Shapes tab.
12	If you don’t have a Rebar definition in your project, you will get a popup to import one. Just click OK and continue.
13	Select your asset from OpenBrIM Database for rebar profile and click Import.
14	By clicking Line Layout, you can switch the layout of the rebar as Line, or Circular.
15	Let’s stay on Line Layout, and enter rebar layout input data.
16	After you click Add, you should click the start and end location points of the section. No need to be exact in locations, they can be edited later.
17	After clicking end location, Edit Linear Rebar Layout window appears.
18	Edit Linear Rebar Layout.
19	If you don’t have a rebar material already imported (or defined as custom), you can import by clicking Import . If you have, just select it from the Material drop-down.
20	After Apply all the entered data in Edit Linear/Circular Rebar Layout window, you can change the location of the rebar layout at the analytical coordinate system by clicking Points Spreadsheet under three-dots.
21	Applying the same procedure, you can insert rebars at top and bottom. This time number of rows is set to 1 and rebar layouts placed twice for top and bottom, respectively.
22	Quick Tip The rebars are completed. This training example doesn’t require any tendon definition; the below steps explain how to add a tendon layout to the section.
23	To add tendon to your section click Tendon at the Shapes tab.
24	After you import the material for the tendon and add the tendon to your section, you can rearrange the coordinates of the tendon.
25	Also, you can use a parametric relationship as input for Y1=d/2-10 (d = depth of the section). The position of the rebar depends on the section depth.
