Interior Wizard - custom profiles/mouldings?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi folks,

Is there a way to add to the list of available mouldings/profiles in the interior wizard?

Ideally I'd like to draw profile of my choosing, set a logical insertion point, and have it available in the pull-down list. Saving such a drawing as a gdl macro or something would be fine.

The crown and base selection is quite limited, and its only a mater of time before someone wants to see a profile that's not in the list.

And yes of course I could use the profiler, or Neil's smartparts, but the wizard seems so...magical.

thanks.

As wonderful as it would be, the profiles are hard-coded into the accessory objects and do not allow for custom additions. The Archicad Profiler kind of does this, but is painful to edit.

There are a couple add-ons you can buy for similar functions, such as CADImage Profiler and the Smart Parts Trim package, but even they do not act the same as an accessory.
