Materials on complex profiles

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:38:46 GMT

Anyone,

I made a complex profile to be able to use with the wall tool,
to make an aluminum profile to fit under a door.
Excellent new feature!
But - I can't change the material to aluminum! Or any other than whatever weird material it is. Why and how?

Where are you trying to set the material?

It should be done in the Profile Manager, not the wall tool.

Thank you Tom.
I finally found out trying again.
With a complex profile with different materials it makes sense. (Stupid me).
It even intersects with its own kind. Also with others that are not too far off. FANTASTIC. Thank you ArchiCAD 10! BUT - not if the profiles are too different. I hoped it would help thinking about the origin/reference line though.
Maybe too much to ask for now.
