double a,
double b,
bool uniformThickness,
double t1,
double t2,
double t3,
double t4);Required arguments

Optional arguments
A Double specifying the wall thickness of the second segment. t2 is required only when uniformThickness=false. The default value is 0.0.
A Double specifying the wall thickness of the third segment. t3 is required only when uniformThickness=false. The default value is 0.0.
A Double specifying the wall thickness of the fourth segment. t4 is required only when uniformThickness=false. The default value is 0.0.
Return value
A BoxProfile object.
Exceptions
