Cadimage 3D Profiler in AC10

Scott Bulmer

I need to confirm that when migrating AC9 drawings that contain profile objects created by Cadimage 3D Profiler, those profiles will not be valid in AC10. I tried placing the version 9 3D Profiler apx in the add-on folder for 10, but AC10 add-on manager indicated an out of date file. Is this just a matter of waiting for an update from Cadimage or something else?
Thanks again,
Scott
AC27 v. 4060 w/ MEP, Cadimage, Twinmotion 2023.2.2 using AC from AC6.0, 2021 MacPro M1 chip, Adobe CC. Used AC on both platforms.

The profiler only created objects. Specifically, it is an object that works in conjuntion with an add-on to allow you to extrude profiles (drawn as fills and saved into a library) along a path.

As an object, you cannot place doors or windows in it.

To me, it's mostly a trimwork tool, useful for cornices and such, but Archicad 10's Profiled Beam and Wall tools largely replace it. The benefits Profiler maintains are:
- better rounding in plan (fillets and curves)
- as an object, is easier shared on multi-file projects

I will also add the following:

with Cadimage profiler you can make a profile (cornich) at one go in two different plans (e.g horizontal and oblique). see picture

Does Cadimage have a AC10 update for their Accessories Pack? I could not find a link on their web site.

they do. make sure that you're logged in and that you have filtered the tools list to meet your platform/archicad version requirements . . .
