Section_definition_api_problem_fxhsb9.png

I'm experimenting ETABS API from Excel VBA, The weird thing is that when I use the method
Code: 
ret = ETABSModel.PropFrame.SetRectangle("B300X700", "C35", 0.7, 0.3)
and then go and check how the defined section looks like, I find the CG isn't placed properly and rebars aren't distributed well, Is there any way to get the CG and rebars distribution to the way produced when defining a rectangular section "manually" from the program itself?
