How do you transfer custom Profiles from one file to another

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:37:28 GMT

I have created a series of custom profiled walls using the Complex Profile Tool.

I saved each in my favorites list as walls, and saved the entire Favorites List to my desktop.

When I open a totally new project and load my Favorites list to the new project, the new walls that I created and saved are there, but when I use them, they are not the same profiles as I created originally (there in name only, shape and materials are totally different.)

Is there a way to transfer Custom Complex Profiles from one project/file to the next?

Just be careful though, last time I checked the materials assigned to complex profiles didn't transfer. If they don't exist in the new file, you may need to add them separately.

Also ...

Do a wall, beam, column ... using each of the profiles and copy/paste.

Check what happens afterwards.
