the 'compact cross section' is the most rigid.
the 'semi compact cross section' is less rigid, wider, more open.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Lucinda and asptech, I wouldn't have found this myself. What is the description of class 3, then, "semi-compact cross section"?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
