Predefined Profile elements

On page 137 of the manual, it states that "Archicad ships a number of predefined profile elements" to be used with the wall, beam and column tools. Does anyone know where these profiles are stored. How are they loaded; via the library manager or attribute manager? Are these profiles residing in the .tpl?

Rita,
I do not know where they are stored but I know how to get at
them to use them.
In the Design menu->complex profiles->profile manager->choose profile
hit the button that by default says "Custom" and you see a list of profiles.

Profiles are attributes just as Line Types, Fill Types, Pen Sets etc. are. They are stored as part of the Project File.
Proof of this is the fact that in Attribute Manager you can open another PLN file and copy Profiles from it to your currently opened Project.
