Why is the weld cross section needed when inserting a weld in the model?

I am just starting the weld modeling arena..........Per my screen shot below, it is asking the Weld cross section value, this seems redundant because I am specifying the size of the weld in the ribbon area.

In this particular case, my fillet weld is 6mm x 6mm which comes to a value of 18.  (6 x 6 x .5 = 18).  I am wanting to the know the weight of the welds in the model.  So the Weld cross section value does matter.  Seems like it would populate from the DXD value of 6 in the ribbon area.  I know the density of the weld material determines the weight as well.

Also, under Weld cross section you have the option of selecting "By Reference" .  It wants a datum plane.   Which datum plane would you select?
