.You can draw a circular Segment shape by clicking the
Draw menu > Draw Solid Shape > Segment
command or by clicking the associated toolbar button, .
Note that there is no reinforcing associated with a
Segment shape. If you want to place reinforcing in a Segment shape then
you must use the Draw menu > Draw Reinforcing Shape
command, or its associated toolbar button, 
, to do it.
Following are the shape properties associated with the Segment shape.
Type: This item is Segment to identify the type of solid shape. It is not editable by the user.
Material: The default material property for Segment shapes is Concrete (CONC). To change this item right click in the cell and select any available material property in the resulting drop-down box.
Color: This item controls the color of the fill for the shape. Left click on the cell to bring up the Color form where you can set the color for the fill.
X Center: The Section Designer X coordinate of the center of the bounding box for the shape. Note that for Segment shapes the bounding box bounds the circle that defines the circular segment. Changing this coordinate relocates the shape.
Y Center: The Section Designer Y coordinate of the center of the bounding box for the shape. Note that for Segment shapes the bounding box bounds the circle that defines the circular segment. Changing this coordinate relocates the shape.
Angle: The angle (in degrees) between lines drawn from the center of the circle to the end points of the chord that defines the segment. See the figure below for an example.
Rotation: The angle (in degrees) measured from the Section Designer X-axis to a radial line that bisects the segment. See Figure 7-1 for an example.
Radius: The radius of the circle defining the Segment.
