Saving Contours and Profiles

All closed polygons / contours, including the examples provided, are saved in the in the construction elements catalog 3D CAD Architecture image11 521 Saving Contours and Profiles (directory \AEC\Profiles). If required, you can create in the normal way your own sub-directories to save these files. The files have their own file format *.profile. The directory in the catalog is called ‘Profiles’, as is the folder in the preview. These files can be accessed in the dialog of sweep solids, or be simply inserted and positioned when planning using drag and drop. Profiles are then inserted as 2D polygons and are immediately available for creating extrusion or rotation solids.
