I have a cross-section where local buckling can be neglected. Can I classify the cross-section manually and thus avoid Class 4 of the cross-section?

Q: I have a cross-section where local buckling can be neglected. Can I classify the cross-section manually and thus avoid Class 4 of the cross-section?

Manual cross-section classification is possible in Window 1.3 "Cross-Sections" (see the image).Cross-section Classes 3 and 4 are available for general cross-sections, and all cross-section Classes 1 to 4 are available for many common cross-sections.
