      Of course we are comparing a $40 SU plugin to 3ds max.

      that's a good point 😆
      actually 3dsmax railing itself doesn't place nowere near to the flexibility of PB on many other aspect.. you should add 200€ railclone to use custom parts and fine-tune every aspect such as PB does (well actually that's way more powerful)

        Thanks Dale,

        First, "Whaat" a great plugin!

        However when using the PB Quantifier, the report shows the shorter measure of a cut sheet, is it possible to show the bounding box measure as a alternative or check?

        [attachment=0:39kov7e0]<!-- ia0 -->cut sheet measure.JPG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:39kov7e0]

        Hi pcmoor,

        Did you create that object with Profile Builder? If so, the length should be based on the length of the underlying path. Using the bounding box to calculate length will not work on a Profile Member composed of multiple segments.

            I created the object using PB2, then used the trim to surface tool, when the surface is within the length of the object, this produced a result where the PMPI is the same length as the short point of the cut. However if i place the cutting surface outside the object the "trim to face tool" extends the object and the PMPI is the same as the long point of the cut.

            so this resolves my issue to create a exact overall cut length. provided I use the extend method

                I think the point is that the price advertised should include taxes.

                Paypal not supported? That's unfortunate.

                Why not have it available on Smustard.com as well?

                yeah well, so I caved, I bought this minutes ago, no taxes on my billing ($37.50 total).

                wondering if i can resell Profilebuilder I bought years back through Smustard?

                Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                  So. . .how does one upgrade from the trial to the purchase. The pullout doesn't seem to have a license or "purchase" tab. Also, I can't find "Profile Builder 2" in the Ext. WH anymore. can somebody help me on this. Also, there seemed to be some chatter on this thread about purchasing issues. Have those been resolved?

                  Thx,

                  David_H

                  If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                        Dale,

                        I got the same error but this time I went out for a while and when I came back it was installed....Also had trouble finding the plugin, even with search. I sent a message in to let them know. Just had a few minutes to play with PB2 but it looks awesome!

                        Thank You,

                        Paul

                          Has anyone tried to use Profile Builder 2 to build curtain walls?

                          I guess we could set components for mullions and such... not sure how to make the glass (specially if you want single planes as glass to render using "architectural glass" material (instead of using heavier materials for glass where the render will calculate light dispersion and such)

                          I guess vertical mullions as components and horizontal mullions AND glass as profiles?

                            A few quirks.

                            I kind of expected issues 2 and 3 to happen, but issue 1 is a surprise (I think it is fixable).

                                Whaat, If I'm not mistaken there's important feature missing- Follow'n'Keep mode:

                                Would it be possible to add this humble check box (in PB andAssembler Dialog) in near future?

                                  PB2 is designed to make this process automatic. For non-planar paths (like a helix) PB2 will use a method similar to Follow'n'Keep. Otherwise, it works similar to the SketchUp follow-me tool.

                                  Are you finding this to be a significant limitation?

                                    For instance, tilted curb stones on sloped roads\ramps look weird. There are lot of similar cases- 7 pages of vivid 'thank you' discussion surely prove it.

                                      Hi Dale, not sure what's going on here: for some reason a profile from either a face or polyline won't execute....?

                                          Yes, it looks like you have a conflicting plugin installed (possibly smartdrop). Open the Ruby Console Window and checked for errors. It should give you a clue about which plugin is causing the problem.
