The section properties are taken as calculated yet the selection of the section type determines the verification path (which formulas are to be used) and section class (slender, compact etc.) therefore you should enter the sizes of flanges (total thickness) and web. In the name you should fill in the first two fields. You can leave the other empty or type some numbers there as well.

BTW: try to select the whole section (CTR+A) and press the indicated icon before calculating the properties. In general that should be done for all sections build with parts.

Pic 3:

The name is entirely up to you e.g. UCC203x203x100 or UCC203x0x10

I would enter:

h=181.2+2*(25+20.5)

tf = 25+20.5

tw and b as for the original section

Pic 4: 

The question you need to answer is how would I verify this section (as I section, pipe or perhaps a structural tube) and decide on the best matching one.
