The Shape Editor will automatically fill AY and AZ zero values that can later trigger errors in STAAD.Pro. If these are up to the user to determine, it would be reasonable to allow these values to be edited before exporting the section to a UPT file.
The same can be said about B, D, TB, and TD, where the values estimated by the program may not be appropriate.

Thank you for posting this idea. Please can you clarify the benefit that would be obtained by allowing the modification of the property values in Shape Editor as opposed to the values that are imported into the STAAD model as the values can be modified there? How would this change make the engineer more productive?
Tb, Td, Ay & Az properties of section shall be calculated & added in UPT files by STAAD Shape editor for any type of section.
