Section Properties for a beam (I xx)?

Is there a way to display the section property of a T beam?  Specifically, I'm looking for the second moment of area in units of in^4 (Ixx).  iProperties provide me with the mass moments for the axis in units of lbmass in^2 under the physical tab (global properties).  I'm sure this information is somewhere, I just can't seem to locate it.  What am I missing?

look for the region properties in the sketch environment.  This assumes you extruded the "T" from a profile sketch.

Perfect!!!  I knew it had to be there somewhere. 

 

Yes, it is an extruded profile.

 

Many thanks.
