Add or modify properties to user defined sections

I have created a user defined section of a electrical strut but when I draw the part it comes in as a beam and pulls default material W350.  I was wondering if there is a way to add more properties to this user defined section.  I would like it so when i draw the component it comes in with the changed defaults.

In MT load the master profile table, find your user section, scroll across to the material column and type in what you want.

Make sure you update defaults.

Yea that exactly where I looked to modify the properties.  I'm not sure if it is the type of user defined section or if i need to move it to a different table but there isn't a option for material type or grade... I attached a screen shot of the table and the options i have.  There is one more column titled Exact Section and that is it.

Wrong place.

Use filter "master"
