I recently took a couple full days to perfect my exterior stud wall complex profile to work exactly the way I want it to. In addition to the nominal height (which links to storeys) and nominal width (set to control the stud depth), I have 25 profile offset modifiers which control everything including the exterior sheathing, exterior rigid insulation, and interior drywall thicknesses, three horizontal bands of exterior finish that can accommodate a masonry base and cap, primary siding color, and upper accent siding color, three trim bands that can be used for shadow boards, belly bands, or trim above the masonry top cap, crown molding and baseboard height/thickness, and the thickness of the finish floor. I've tested all the modifiers thoroughly and it worked great until I tried to override the surfaces of individual components of the profile. What a let down!
Does anyone know if this wish has been added to AC25? I'm still running version 24 but will upgrade if this is available.

No, no change in 25.
You have to duplicate your profile (if you want to keep the original materials) and then change the building materials used for the fills or customise the edge materials on the fills.
It sounds like your complex profile is complex enough as it is, so you probably won't be wanting to add extra fills with modifiers that use different alternate materials.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of adding extra fills for alternate materials. That would work but add quite a few more modifiers.
