          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?

                                      I'm afraid that 2.0.6 doesn't have the reverse assembly feature. It doesn't really make sense to purchase 2.0.6 from the Extension Warehouse after buying 2.1. Save your money and use it for upgrading to SU2016 instead πŸ˜„

                                        Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

                                        Profile Builder 2.1, SU Pro 2016, Mac 10.11.4

                                        I am attempting to use PB2.1 to generate a simple handrail.

                                        1st attempt without using the PB smart-path: obvious fail

                                        2nd attempt using the PB smart-path: obvious fail

                                        3rd attempt using follow me: success.

                                        I also noticed that PB makes messy geometry vs the native tool at the corners; look at the highest corner where it is all twisted vs. the native follow me.

                                        Thoughts? I must say I was quite surprised and frustrated by these results as this plugin is held in very high regard and it sure looks very powerful, but I sure can't use it if this is the kind of geometry it creates. Perhaps I am missing something very simple... Thanks in advance

                                          Hi otb,
                                          No, you aren't doing anything wrong. There are some known issues with these types of complex paths that move in all three coordination directions and also have small radius curves. I am planning to fix these issues in the next update.

                                          Thanks
