Create/edit profile components
In Profile Editor:
Use the Fill tool to draw or edit the cross-section of the complex profile. Only 2D drawing tools are available.
Select the fill element, then use Fill Selection Settings to assign Building Material and Cut Line type.
•Only Hotspots, and fills drawn with the Fill tool, will be part of the saved profile.
•Other 2D elements added to Profile Editor (lines, dimensioning, etc.) can be used as local drafting aids, but will have no effect on the final appearance of the complex profile. These drafting aids are located on the “Drafting” Design Layer of Profile Manager.
•Overlapping fills are supported, and will be cut out based on their Building Material Priority at the placed element level.
•The Profile Origin is a significant reference point. See Profile Origin in Profile Editor Window.
Use the other controls of Profile Manager to edit the Profile geometry and behavior:
