How-to PDFs for Profiler, TrussMaker, & RoofMaker

Anonymous — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 21:42:51 GMT

Hello,
Once upon a time, there were three PDFs included with
these three add-ons that described how to use them.
Somewhere along the line GS decided not to include
these PDFs in the installation and as far as I can tell
they are not available anywhere that I have looked,
the Archicad site, ArchicadWiki, etc.

Does anyone have these PDFs and if so could they
be made available to us here on AC-Talk ?
Thank you,
Peter Devlin
P.S.
It does not mater what version of the program
they came with because, as far as I know,
the way they work has not changed.

I cannot find any pdfs either, but I have a TrussMaker movie from AC7, which is very nice!

Hello Kliment,
If I go to AC 10 help and do a search with the term "design extras"
I find a description of TrussMaker and RoofMaker but nothing about
Profiler. On another thread it was noticed that the Profiler add-on
was missing from the Goodies list for AC 12 US and Karl provided
a link to the AC 12 INT Goodies list which had Profiler in the list
and a Readme for Profiler which was the PDF that I remember
but as a .htm file. I downloaded this file but it was missing the
images that were in the original. At the moment this is the
the situation. There are descriptions for how to use TrussMaker
and how to use Roofmaker in the AC 10 Reference guide and
these pages are reproduced in the online AC 10 help but there
is no description or even mention of Profiler anywhere except
the Readme in the AC 12 INT Goodies list. I went to the AC 10
Goodies list and Profiler was not there I assume because it was
included in the AC 10 installation unlike later versions where it
was not part of the installation but was one of the Goodies.
Thanks Kliment,
Peter Devlin

I only go back to 9 but one of the PDF's in my bonepile is a 4 meg pdf titled "Intro to Object Making.pdf" that has about 3 pages on profiler with illustrations. Might that help?

Hello Dave,
I have "Intro to Object Making.pdf". I had forgotten
that DNC had talked about Profiler. You will notice
DNC does not tell you how to use Profiler.
I went to the AC 12 INT Goodies list and
opened the Readme for Profiler and saved
as PDF and now I have the original PDF
that came with the add-on way back
maybe in AC 6 or earlier. If anyone is interested
here it is. (see attached)
Thank you for posting back.

Peter, I have these explanations in html for all Goodies for AC11 and AC10. I can send them to you if needed. I made a pdf of AC10's Profiler, because in your pdf there was a picture missing.

Hello Kliment,
Thank you for making the PDF. I knew my PDF was missing
a picture but I could not do anything about it. I have all the
explanations for all of the Goodies for AC 10. Profiler is
not in the list of Goodies for AC 10 because, as I remember,
it was part of the installation.
Thanks,
Peter Devlin
