The section line consists of the SECTION keyword, the point count for the section, and then two optional point counters for the concave and convex sides. If the point counters are not specified, then PC-DMIS Blade assumes that no trimming is to be done. With the two point counters specified, PC-DMIS Blade tries to trim the section.
