      I love this plugin for certain.

      Question. Can you make a profile extrude with hidden lines? I frequently hide lines in fencing or window mullions to get a cleaner SU image export.

      For example, the assembly in this image. I created the components to have hidden lines but I cannot figure out how to make the horizontal profiles to have hidden lines. I can edit them in the final placement and get the result I want but having them extrude hidden already would be great.

      Thanks.

          I tried creating a profile in model with the lines on a hidden layer as well as saving a profile to a folder with lines on a hidden layer and loading it in. Neither produced an extruded profile with hidden lines.

          Are you able to produce one? If so what was your process?

            oops.. I misunderstood your request. I thought you're talking about vertical elements.
            As workaround (for profiles) I could recommend Fredo's ' Hide All Edges'- works amazingly.

                Yeah - that plugin is probably the way to go. It's a nice idea for Profile Builder but I am not sure if there would be enough people using the feature to justify putting it in.
