Length, Width, Depth

The length, width and depth of a cross arm is defined as per the diagram below.

Note that the selection of depth and width will determine how the cross arm will handle vertical and longitudinal loads under FEA simulations which is explained in articles Cross Arm Parameters - Second Moment of Area and Cross Arm Parameters - Section Modulus.

Currently there is no way to rotate a cross arm 90 degrees in Neara and hence to model a rectangular cross arm that can be installed in either direction, two cross arms would need to be set up (one with larger dimension in the depth and other larger dimension in the width).
