Hi all,
I'm fairly new to creating shapes in Visio via the Shape Sheet. I was wondering if someone could help me create a smart-shape exactly the same as the image attached. I also need the ability for text to be inputted into each horizontal section/segment.

Obviously it is possible to do this via merging shapes. However, I would prefer to use the Shape Sheet feature to have a single, consolidated shape.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help.

Here is a shape taken from my UML diagram shapes, it's a UML class shape, it's what you want apart from the rounded corners. You can add text to each segment and the segments move up/down to accomodate the text.

Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate your help. If I format the shape and round the corners will it round the corner of each segment or the shape as a whole? Sorry I don't have Visio on my current machine so I have no way to test this.

File attached. The corner rounding via the Format menu doesn't work on shapes like this. This shape consists of 3 subshapes and I've had to create rows within the upper and lower shapes with a formula describing the arc in each corner.
