Hi,

If a section type is not accessible (grayed out) it means that it is not supported for the selected connection type.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. My option is base plate connection type (pls refer attachment), but "Cross profile" disabled. so base plate connection for cross section not available at Robot? If so, let me know is there any other options to work with.

Thanks again.

Yes, this section shape is not supported for the fixed column base connection. If you want to design it in Robot the closest approximation would be to use rectangular tube as a column profile instead.
