There are rail and object types in profile manager. How can I create these?
Even if you look it up in the manual, it seems to be explained simply as below.
What command should I search for to find it?

You create the profile just as you would any other profile.

But you activate the box to say you want to use the profile as a rail rather than a wall in the profile settings.

Then in the railing object you use the custom profile rail and choose your profile.

The image you show is for the fixing plate (for the profiled rail).

As far as I know, you can only change the settings of the plate that you show.

You can't create your own custom plate shapes.

The fixing plate is just an object, so I assume you could find it and modify it if you really need to.

But the fixing plate that is already there should be good for 99% of all requirements.

What would you need to change?

I was asking where these could be used.
Is this correct?
I'm asking the question again because I used a translator and the interpretation came out strangely.

CW stands for Curtain Wall.

These are custom profile shapes that can be used for the curtain wall frames and caps.

The chair symbol is for 'library part' meaning that these can be used for any objects that can use profiles, which is what curtain walls are made from.

The 'railing' type can be used for profiles used for rails and posts.

Like curtain walls, railings are also made from objects, but they are have there own 'railing' profile type.

In my image you will also see some 'cornice' profiles in the railing settings, because I sometimes use the railing tool to place my cornices (so they are set as 'library part' type as well as 'railing' type and also 'beam' type).

Profiles can be used with more than one type.

I love your explanation. ^^
Everything is explained in a way that makes it easy to understand at once!
