      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:
              http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=16465
              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.

                          Dale,

                          I can't get the pipe segments to align properly. What's the trick?

                          Thanks,

                          Paul

                            Add a small extension to your arcs in the direction of the joining pieces.

                                Thanks for the feedback John.

                                1. Is this an issue? The smoothing of edges is based on the angle between adjacent faces. If it is less than 30 degrees the edge gets smoothed
                                2. This is a bug that I hope to fix soon.
                                3. I couldn't see any issue here. The path could be edited as expected. Could you clarify the problem you noticed.

                                        Anyone knows where the Plugin stores it´s library of profiles?

                                        I find no way to select different profiles, and when clicking "browse" (the mag glass button) it takes me to "My Documents" folder, where there are several skp files but no library as far as I know.

                                            Hi,
                                            Unfortunately, there is currently no way to purchase via paypal. All payments are handled through SketchUp's payment system (which does not currently support Paypal).
