Hello Thierry
When you give coordinates, your 2 first lines must read like
# Control sections definition
4 0 # there are 4 sections, given by coordinates
section_name1
x11 y11 x12 y12 # for section 1: xy of point 1 and xy of point 2
.
.
.
section_name4
x41 y41 x42 y42 # for section 4: xy of point 1 and xy of point 2
Coordinates have not to be exactly those of mesh nodes, Telemac looks for the nearest nodes and therefore there is no constraint for the number of decimals.
With my best regards and merry christmas with your nice canadian maple leaves
