Profiler process

Love that profiler tool. But, how do I save the profile for use again. Also, once I get that profile back into the drawing, how do I start the profile extrusion drawing process.

Thanks,
Tom

Just emphasising what Djordje wrote...The big difference between an Archiforma and Profiler is that in Archiforma you can move the profile's nodes through the Z axis...

I would, however, like to be able to move a path node without having to RE-DO the profile. I have asked and it may be eminent that STRETCHY HOTSPOTS will be a part of the profiler's path in the future.
Yep, exactly the ArchiForma point; I was tweaking a tent today, and it is all graphical AND easy ...

And with ArchiForma 2.0 you can extrude interesting free-form shapes via polylines that are in 3-space. Take a look at some of the images on the new 2.0 web site. I didn't use ArchiForma 1.8 very much, prefering Profiler like Duane, but can see that I will be using 2.0 quite a bit.

Yes, I forgot to mention that all the time I am describing 2.0 ... sorry
