merge walls

Anonymous — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:08:31 GMT

I had two parallel composite walls that I combined using the "merge walls" option. It looks like this then creates one complex profile wall called "custom profile," but when I go into the profile manager to edit it, custom profile exists, but it's blank.

Does using the "merge walls" option remove your ability to edit the complex profile created?

Thanks!

Is the custom profile selected in plan, section, ... and then choose Design > Complex Profiles > Capture Profile Of Selection... ?

ok...

so it looks like if i use "capture profile of selection,"
then save this profile as *name*,
THEN apply *name* profile to the wall that i "captured" it from,
i'll then have an editable profile.

thanks!

In fact, there's no need to rename at all.

I save profiles only for regular / repetitive use, f.e. wall base type 1.
Call it a base type if you like.

Then I use Capture Profile Of Selection (= editable) to have modifications to one or more placed in model > Apply to Selection > quit. No store.
