Description
#### Description:
The current ETABS API does not support mirroring sections even tho it is possible within ETABS.
As ETABS also flips bars it does not like (#232) which will mirror the section, without any way to maintain consistency.
A bootleg temporary solution would be to always create two sections when the are asymmetric assign properly and infer which should be mirrored in ETABS by naming.
i.e. `L 200x150x18.0` and `L 200x150x18.0_Mirrored`
slightly manual but would enable a workflow
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the ETABS API integration and issue #232 to understand how asymmetric sections and flipped bars are currently handled. Done should mean the toolkit supports mirrored asymmetric sections while maintaining consistent section and bar orientation in ETABS.
