Using 'orchestral' strings rather than 'individual' strings

How do I specify ‘orchestral’ strings or string ‘section’

If I just indicate violin it comes up as an individual violin

I’m having alot of problems getting string ‘section’ like an orchestral violin section should be around 8 violins but when I go into create a new group it makes it all really complicated, and gives me a string ‘quartet’ instead.

I don’t like using the templates ( preferring to build my own ensemble) but even in the orchestra template it comes up as individual strings.

what adds to the confusion is that I do have sessions that use orchestral string sections I must have created them by fluke I just don’t know but even these the violas are individual viola which sound more like flutes

I’m having alot of frustration can any one help?

Make sure you add section players and not solo players.
