Displays properties for cross sections. In Structure, a cross-section is placed on a member line and extruded along the member line to create the three-dimensional profile of the member. In Molded Forms, a cross-section is placed on a profile system landing curve and extruded along the landing curve to create the three-dimensional profile.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Alternate EDI Name

Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) 
to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.
