Complex Profile Stretching in AC17

Anonymous

I am unable to change the height and width of complex wall profiles in AC17 that worked in AC16. Is there a trick I am missing here? Thanks!

Hi Gayla

Make sure your profiles have the Vertical and horizontal Stretch Design Layers active. ( in the Profile Manager Window)

I think I have the lines active. I attach a screen shot.

Just in case this is a new profile from one that you used in 16... you do know that you can make the profile taller and wider than the original drawing in the screenshot... but can never make it shorter or narrower?

Glad that resolved it! It took me a while after CP were introduced to learn to make my profiles the shortest/narrowest that I would ever want if they were to be stretchy...
