Edit profile & update

Tom Krowka — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:28:04 GMT

Have created a profile and used it as a beam. Have edited the profile in the editor, then stored. Profiles do not automatically update. I'm sure they used to do that.

Now, it seems I have to select each profile member in plan with the editor open, then hit apply. I have lots of that profile throughout the plan and it is time consuming to find and select each one.

What happened, and how can I update them all at once without selecting them all.

Thanks.

Still works here. Are you sure you stored the altered profile and the unchanged beams are all referring to the profile you just edited? Are they affected by PBC's that can mask your changes?

Yes to all your questions, except what at PBC's?

PBC - Priority based connections

I was editing a complex wall profile but found that the part of the wall I was trying to show was being overridden/trimmed by the floor slab.

I never use apply, not sure why it's there, I just edit, store, return to drawing and everything has updated.

I can't think how else you might have disconnected your existing beams.

Are you sure the beams are set to the specific profile and not to 'custom'?

It sounds like they are set to 'custom', rather than the stored profile.

See below. Instead of 'custom' it should be your stored profile.

When I opened the PLN this morning, the profile was updated everywhere. Not sure why it did not automatically update yesterday.

And yes, had the profile rather than custom selected in the dialogue box. But thanks all.
