Hi Guys
As a follow on to the very nice illustration above, you can download this guide (no catches, honest 😉 ) from here that is a little wordier and shows the 'next step' in terms of profile development. Pretty much the last 6 pages are untested by a lot of people at this stage but it works for me!

Its about 6mb btw.
Hi, can anybody send me this pdf or send me an updated link?
Have you tried sending Jason a Private Mail perhaps? Click the PM button below one of his posts.

I have a copy of the file myself, but it would be worth asking Jason direct just in case he has updated it.
Peter do you still have a copy of that file?

Its maybe part of the topic:

I made some progress using profile-manager-profiles in GDL - and the curtein-wall is using GDLS..

its german but self declaring:

Download AC-21-Aut - Edu-file for testing:

Now it should be possible to draw A N Y thinkable profile in the Profile-Manager and use it in the curtain-wall-tool.

Attention: The surrounding profile must be an eytra profile - because its situated different on the axis than the inner profiles for posts.


Its a pity - Graphisoft is documenting this possibilities in GDL soo immens poor that you have to "reverse - engeneer" existing examples to learn how to use this functions..
