          Seriously, it is one of my most used plugins. 😄 maybe the most.

          I'm still discovering new uses for it. Just recently, I started using it for roofing (ridge caps and hip caps)

            Pro user and love it. The bigger my custom created library gets, the faster model creation becomes. 👍

              The 26 included libraries are a great tool!

              Thank you very much! 😍

                I've had the pro version for a long time and it is indispensible for my work since I often make models using various size I-beams and channels (plus some "homemade" shapes)

                  Parametric lofting - as it should be. I'm always frustrated when I am handed a model made by someone else where I realise they of course haven't modelled with Profile Builder. The quick change I want to do becomes tedious.

                    There is no possibility to resize (scale) the profile just before the drawing ?

                              I've downloaded the plugin, saw the icon, have a dialog box but when I click on the drop down it's empty, click the buttons in the Profile Builder dialog box with no response.
                              Unload I think possible plug-ins that might create some conflicts like the housebuilder and building structure tool but to no avail.
                              Any idea would be welcome.
                              Thanks!

                                house builder an building structures won't interfere with profile builder I use all three. I use the Pro ver so I can't say about the free one but you should have .rb file and a folder titled Profile Builder with a folder in it named library do you? Some libraries come with it and some you can download more on Smustard.

                                    Hello,

                                    I don't believe there are any conflicts with those plugins. I have heard of the issue you are having before. It might be due to your Internet and Javascript settings. Profile Builder uses web dialogs which use javascript.

                                    If you are using Windows, open Internet Explorer and try going to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Reset Internet Explorer Settings.

                                        The drop-downs in the dialog are populated from the files available in the tool's folder.
                                        If there are no files/folder then it'll be empty...

                                        As I understand it you should have the following files/folders in your Plugins folder, mimicking the files/folders that arrive in the .zip file...Plugins folder level.PNGPlugins+ProfileBuilder folder level.PNGPlugins+ProfileBuilder+Libraries folder level.PNG If you have additional .plb files these should go into the 'Libraries' subfolder.

                                          Hi TIG,

                                          All are in its proper order and all accounted for but still the webdialog appears empty.
                                          Sigh!

                                          Thanks!

                                            Have you checked the security permissions for these folders/files? ...
                                            And that they are actually what they say they are?
                                            Windows can put things into 'Compatibility Files' folders without telling you, but display them as if they are really where you intended...
                                            This can happen if you don't have FULL security permissions to the Plugins folder and its contents etc...

                                            Otherwise I am at a loss... any others want to chip in ??? 😕
