Can etabs design box shaped shear walls?

Can etabs design box shaped shear walls?

(OP)
Dear friends, I have a box shaped shear wall in my building and I have faced a problem about designing it. I assigned all 4 walls in one pier and used section designer to model the wall and assign bars to the wall. According to etabs manuals etabs can design U,L,T shaped shear walls but I don't know if etabs can design box shaped shear walls or not. On the other hand, Should I assign my shear wall with a combination of a U shape and a single wall or I can simply assign all 4 walls in one single pier and design it with one section defined in section designer. Your help is highly appreciated.

(Note: I have an openings in one of the walls but its size is negligible comparing to the size of the shear wall.)
