With parametric profiles being introduced in ARCHICAD 22, came new attributes to manage, the offset modifiers. With the help of the Modifiers, you can create more intelligent Profiles for Walls, Beams, and Columns, by defining the edges parametrically in the Profile Editor. This will allow offset or control of individual (or multiple) edges, at the instance level, either graphically or via element settings.
Managing them is simple, but it's good to understand some pointers that can help us on the way:
How do we name our modifiers?
How to save modifiers?
We can create as many modifiers as we like, but if they are unassigned, they get deleted once the profile is saved, keeping the profiles clean. In case the modifier was used in a different profile as well, it will only be deleted from the one where it wasn't assigned to anything.How to avoid duplicates?
It is possible to use the same modifiers in more than one Complex Profile. With a naming convention and consistent use of modifiers, it can save time and effort, making the profiles less heavy. When adding a new modifier to the profile, you can choose from the list of existing modifiersSee Warnings and tips for Offset Modifiers
