Curved Profiler Objects

[Anonymous]

Archicad 9... I've made a cornice moulding profile for the exterior of a building. All looked as it should in 3D and section. However, the next day, when I loaded the project, the curved areas have changed to a straight line. No curved lines show up. I've tried various object changes but cannot get the curved lines back.

The library part still looks correct with the curved line but will not show up ion the drawings. I've changed the setting in Magic Wand hoping that would help but no change.

Anyone know how to get the curves back in the profiler library object? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ron,
I noticed in the 3D script that the resol was set to 6.
Profiler uses the Magic Wand setting for resolution of circles
to decide how many segments arcs should have
even though it does not use additional status codes
but writes the parameters for polyline nodes. The number
of polyline nodes for arc segments is equal to the resol
which is equal to the resolution of circles as set in
the Magic Wand settings.

Draw the profile you want again but, before you invoke
Profiler, set the resolution of circles in the Magic Wand
settings to say 36 or greater.
I tested this and it works.

Let us know how it works for you.

I just discovered something with respect to how Profiler works.
In my last post I said "Profiler uses the Magic Wand setting
for resolution of circles to decide how many segments arcs should have"
This is how Profiler works now but in 8.1 it sets it's own resolution and
the magic wand settings has no effect.
