    Answer ✓ 
    my_layered_section = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.AddLayeredSection()
my_layered_section.Name = "my_layered_section"

first_layer_material = 'Structural Steel'
first_layer_thickness = 10
first_layer_angle_in_degrees = 30

second_layer_material = 'Structural Steel'
second_layer_thickness = 15
second_layer_angle_in_degrees = 25

#Now add the layers like below
my_layered_section.Layers.AddThicknessLayer(first_layer_material,first_layer_thickness,first_layer_angle_in_degrees)
my_layered_section.Layers.AddThicknessLayer(second_layer_material,second_layer_thickness,second_layer_angle_in_degrees)
