      Hi Jim,

      It can mean two things (basically):

      • your profile is inside a group/component. Note that you cannot use the PP tool in this case: you will need to enter the group's editing context (double click) to access the face
      • your profile is a curved surface with softened edges. See if there is any hidden geometry showing if you turn them on under View menu
        There are other occasions, too, i none of the above apply, please, attach an example file.

      Gai...

        Jim, in the case of these molding profiles, Csaba's first statement is the one that applies. You must open the group (the molding profiles are all groups at least in the Astragal's file) for editing before you can modify it. It's kind of silly that they are groups. If they were components they could be more easily saved for later use

          So Simple! Thanks a lot! I never expected such a swift, concise reply. My Sketchucation continues...

            When I use these profiles I tend to open the group and copy the profile then close the group and paste the profile to where I want it.
            This leaves the original undisturbed, and the profile free to push pull etc.

              I think it would be smart to convert the groups to components and save them as a component library. Then you can quickly get the profile you need from the Components browser and not have to go through the hassle of opening the whole bloody file. A lot of them could do with some simplification, too

                Thanks to all that replied- this has opened a whole slew of possibilities for me. I think, though, for the present anyway I'll just convert them to components as I use them. That's a lot of profiles- unless there's a batch convertor somewhere? If there is I'd be happy to do it and upload the results.

                  The profile links are broken in the first post. Do you need the files? I have copies.

                        Did you look at the 3D Warehouse? They are all available there. Esteemed SCF member JPalm uploaded them there.
