Profile manager question

Tom Krowka

I have created a profile wall element. However, I cannot adjust it vertically when displayed in a section window. I have vertical checked in the manager box, the appropriate palette displays when selected, tracking window allows input, but nothing happens.
Can profiles be adjusted in section, or only in plan. Have tried rebuild, but nothing seems to work. I would rather not have to have several profiles of the same wall in order to allow different heights.
I am using V14, but the profile was built in V12.


Thanks.

I have since discovered I can make it taller, but not shorter.

Yes, you can change hight of the Complex Profile wall in SECTION.

Tom, right. You can only make complex profiles taller. So you need to set the profile to the shortest height you'll need (or might need). You can always make the profile shorter after the fact to accommodate a new shorter condition. In that case all the placed profiles should retain their original height.
