      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

                    A few quirks.

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

                    [attachment=1:1glim78o]<!-- ia1 -->trim to solid issue.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:1glim78o]

                    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).

                                  Hi Dale, quick question re: libraries...

                                  Are we able to file profiles and assemblies in specific folders..? [say Curbs, Steel, purlins, etc..]

                                  purpose/expression/purpose/....

                                    I´m not Dale, I would answer your question.

                                    1. Select your Profile
                                    2. Push the Plus (+)
                                    3. Try your Profile
                                      4 IF your Profile is Good go to Point 5.
                                    4. Save your file (Profile)
                                    5. in the Save Dialoge go up to the C:/Users/USER/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/DM_ProfileBuilder2/Libraries
                                    6. Right click -> New Folder and Name your Folder
                                    7. Save your new profile in this new folder

                                    in PB2 all profiles will save as sketchup files.
                                    this is good. so you could share your profile folder or you could download profiles from the Sketchup3DWarehouse etc.

                                    look in one of the sketchup files (profiles) you will see, that all profiles will save in the X-Y Plane ( Top View). If your profile was selected in the Z-X or Z-Y (Front/Back-View or Left/Right-View) the Profile will ever save in the X-Y-Plane.
                                    I´ll hope you have understand my answer (I´m not english native Speaker/Writer).

                                      Hello,

                                      I modified the Industrial Railing assembly and saved it per the instructions in the users manual. The file is there with the rest of the assembly examples but I can't open it or see a thumbnail pic.

                                      Thank You,

                                      Paul

                                          i want to offer my open apologize to you.

                                          Hi Deaneau,
                                          I appreciate your open apology even though I never got a chance to read the post your referring to. I am guessing you were frustrated by the lack of video tutorials. I agree, more tutorials are needed.

                                          I had planned to be releasing about two video tutorials per week since PB2 was released but I have only been able to release a total of two so far.

                                          Things usually don't work out as planned. I have been bombarded with multiple Paypal support requests and problems with installation / licensing. Addressing these problems have become my first priority and unfortunately, these issues cannot be resolved in days, it takes weeks (I am just one person after all and I do this in my limited spare time).

                                          Once these critical issues have been resolved, I plan to be releasing more video tutorials. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

                                          I thank you all for your patience and support of my work.

                                            i want to offer my open apologize to you.

                                            Hi Dale, my rude words was **never**my intension. The F-Words i have used in my early life.

                                            my intension was, to tell... manuals will be good, movies/videos will be better and both together is the best solution.(my opinion). if you look over the shoolder of your foreman(?) in Woodworking (for example) or you will learn to build a building or what ever, some times you will learn faster.
                                            ..yes you could read a book about woodworking... however this is not the same when you use this in real life.
                                            theory and praxis is a dream team. or text and pictures.

                                            Again: Excuse Me!

                                            p.s. to find the right words is some times difficult for non native speakers.

                                            I have read this now
