How to adjust cross sectional area of beam profiles in SpaceClaim geometry?

      Hi,nI have a space truss built from multiple 2D lines in the spaceclaim geometry and I want to prepare them all to have a solid circular beam cross-section but once I do that I can not individually adjust the cross-sectional areas of the prepared beam elements. If I try to adjust one, they are all adjusted. How can I adjust it so all the circular beam elements have a mixture of different cross sectional areas? n

      nAssign an individual cross-section name to each beam. Don't use the same cross-section name for every beam.nEven if you want them to all start as a circular cross-section with a diameter of 5 mm, name them like this:nBeam A 5 mm circlenBeam B 5 mm circlenBeam C 5 mm circlenetc.n
