Complex profile names reverts to "Custom"

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can anyone advise how to stop Archicad loosing the name of a profile after a wall has been assigned a complex profile. This bug is extremely annoying when you have many complex profiles assigned and you have to edit them!

(did try to find if anyone had encountered this before by searching the forum)

Yes it would be nice if it remembered the last profile used. ArchiCAD needs to remember a lot of the last accessed settings.

AFAICS Your best solution would be to use Favorites.

Cheers,

All,
This is a problem still happening in AC14. Is there a solution out there for this?
I have a LOT of complex object and they revert to "custom" after creating them out. So if I put my curson on top of the wall created with custom profile the name on the label shows "custom" name.
Thank you

When you finished creating the Custom Profile, do you click the Store Profile button and give it a name?

Add
1. when an element with a custom profile is selected right-clicking will have an option to edit that custom profile

2. For consistency, like opt/alt+ clicking on an element when opening an attribute it opens to the one you just set as current default. Profile manager should similarly be set to what was set as the default.
