Description : Profile Builder is a fast and flexible parametric modeling toolset for SketchUp. It has become a MUST-HAVE SketchUp extension for thousands of users worldwide. With Profile Builder, you can model faster than ever before. Not only that, your models will be SMARTER and more adaptable to design changes.
Features:
• The core of Profile Builder is the ability to create intelligent extrusions (we call them “profile features”) using parametric profiles. A profile can be any shape, even a polyline. Create smart moldings, framing, pipes, railings, roofing, walls, and foundations – the possibilities are endless!
• Profiles can be saved to your local library along with a custom name, orientation (anchor point, offsets, rotation), dimensions, material, and layer. Create a new profile by simply drawing a face on your model and adding it as a new profile. Once you save a profile, you can load it and then reuse it in future projects.
• Imagine modeling a complex railing, layered wall, fence, framed wall, staircase, or driveway in seconds! Profile Builder’s assembler allows you to create and save fully customizable parametric smart assemblies. You’ll be absolutely amazed at what you can do with assemblies in Profile Builder! Don’t want to make your own assemblies? No problem! Simply load one of the many pre-made assemblies from 3D models and customize it to your liking!
• The Auto Assembly feature makes it easy to create many different assemblies with the click of a button. Simply create the parts of your assembly, select them and click Auto Assembly!
• Easily cut out nested groups and components with the powerful hole tool. Profile members remember the properties of their holes, so you can edit the object and the holes will be re-created in the right place.
• One of the biggest complaints about SketchUp’s Follow Me tool is that the profile orientation tends to rotate along complex paths. Profile Builder can handle any path you throw at it and will always maintain the expected profile orientation.
• You can also rotate a profile with a single click to create a parametric 3D profile revolver. These types of objects would normally take a long time to create in SketchUp, but Profile Builder can do it in seconds!
• The Smart-Path Select tool is useful for quickly selecting a specific path of edges among other complex geometry.
• When we say Profile Builder is parametric, we mean it! Any smart profile feature or assembly created with Profile Builder can be edited after creation by adjusting the smart parameters. Change the profile, material, height, width, orientation, and even the extrusion path after creation. Use the Extend tool to adjust the length of a profile feature, and use the built-in trimming tools to add the finishing touches.
