      OK thanks for the reply.

      Is there a way to keep Profile Builder from refreshing the thumbnail when tweaking an assembly?
      During very complex assembly building, it can be quite a hassle to wait for it to refresh, even for a mm tweaking...

      And I guess the ability to DUPLICATE an assembly's element (copy/paste the properties) would be very handy too... but I suppose a feature like this is in the pipeline already...?

      Anyway just like Railclone in Max, nothing beats the witnessing of the automatic generation of a perfectly programmed assembly that would have taken hours of painful manual modeling... πŸ’š

        One more thing...

        If we could reverse the path for the assemblies like we can do for the profiles, it would be great!
        Now I have to weld the lines, and revert the spline with FredoTools... quite time consuming sometimes.

        And... πŸ˜„
        If we could access to fast presets (let's say 3-4 presets that remain loaded in RAM without having to reload them again from the browser), it would be perfect!

          Look for this feature in the upcoming version 2.1 πŸ˜„

                  I need to use this tool more. I am not up to date in all it can do. Though I am not looking for BOM much, this is really impressive!

                        Yes, there are a few other small features added (like re-building multiple profile members with one operation). There will also be a new license system that will support volume licensing.

                        There are also a ton of bug-fixes

                            If you have PB2, you know the right-click context menu feature 'Rebuild Member'? Now you can select multiple profile members and then activate this feature instead of just one.

                              Thanks Dale,

                              One thing that could be handy is to be able to build assemblies from presets.
                              I mean, having to reencode the railings for each assemblies is really time consuming, not to mention each tweaking needs an update of the thumbnail, which is sometimes boring...

                                I hear you - perhaps this could be improved

                                  I see Profile Builder 2.1 has been released! When I select the download link (somehow there are two, refer to the same link) on the Extension Warehouse (from My Extensions), it comes up with an error message that the requested page could not be found?

                                      That is really strange. I'll forward this to the EW team to get their input.

                                        Hi, I'm an owner of Profile Builder and Artisan...great plugins!

                                        I want to purchase Profile Builder 2 but on the web page it says SU 2016 is required. I have SU 2015 Pro. Do I need to upgrade to 2016 in order to use this plugin? I really hope not.

                                        EDIT:
                                        I went back and read again. I see that 2.1 is in fact for 2016 only. Why??? I really want to buy this plugin. But now my workflow would be fragmented if I decided to get the make version of 2016. Is there any plans to make it 2015 compatible?

                                        EDIT2:
                                        Actually I cannot use this and go back to my 2015 pro setup for my projects as we are not allowed to save and load in previous versions. I'm a bit sad about this. The main reason I wanted 2.1 is so I can reverse the orientation of assemblies. It's a must have.

                                          It was a difficult decision but, yes, 2.1 is for 2016 only. The reason is that 2.1 includes a new licensing system that could have been easily hacked with SU2015. SU2016 is more secure.

                                          You can still buy version 2.0.6 on the Extension Warehouse (SU2015 compatible) but not for long. It will likely be replaced by 2.1.0 (2016 only) within days.

                                          I understand that this may cause temporary frustration for some users and I am looking into potential workarounds. Thank you very much for your support of my plugins.

                                            Well, I just purchased 2.1 anyway because I'm a big fan of Profile Builder and I can't imagine not having this in my arsenal. My biggest issue is that I would have to upgrade my SU Pro which I cannot afford right now. I would really like to have all my tools in pro version alongside this plugin. So now I have to make sure I don't need any pro specific tools when using this which is very hard to swallow. Please find a way to make it 2015 compatible. OR.....does 2.0.6 have the reverse assembly orientation capability? If so I will grab that as well...or would that have to be a separate order even though I bought 2.1?
