[Plugin] Profile Builder Free Edition
-
I'm happy to announce a free edition of my Profile Builder plugin. The original plugin was released about three years ago on Smustard. The free edition allows all of the features of the original pro version except for the ability to define your own profiles. However, users of the free edition are welcome to install any profile libraries (PLB files) that pro users have created.
In fact, the free edition comes packed with 26 profile libraries including:
- AISC steel shapes (C,HSS, L, S, and W)
- AITC Glulam profiles
- Hundreds of moulding profiles (bases, casings, chair rails, crowns, etc.)
- Lumber profiles
- Metric and Imperial circular and square profiles
- Concrete curbs
In addition, the Pro version of Profile Builder has just dropped in price to the amount of $20 US.
Here is what users are saying:
"I use it every day. What a time saver!" - Dale Martens
"I haven't used the follow-me tool in the three years since Profile Builder came along" - Dale Martens
"The toolbar could be nicer..." - Dale MartensIf you have never heard of Profile Builder, the videos below will provide you an introduction. Thank you, Eric Schimel for the tutorial.

Seriously, it is one of my most used plugins.
maybe the most.I'm still discovering new uses for it. Just recently, I started using it for roofing (ridge caps and hip caps)
-
Pro user and love it. The bigger my custom created library gets, the faster model creation becomes.
-
The 26 included libraries are a great tool!
Thank you very much!
-
I've had the pro version for a long time and it is indispensible for my work since I often make models using various size I-beams and channels (plus some "homemade" shapes)

maybe the most.Parametric lofting - as it should be. I'm always frustrated when I am handed a model made by someone else where I realise they of course haven't modelled with Profile Builder. The quick change I want to do becomes tedious.
-
There is no possibility to resize (scale) the profile just before the drawing ?
-
Excellent plugin, very generous of you to provide such a powerful free version. Thank you

Thank you very much, Dale. Very kind of you to share the power.
And your first video is tasty umami.

Liking this PI more & more.
Thanks. -
I'm Iranian and we are in a Boycott, and we couldn't buy anything .... thanks a lot for this free version .. thanks a lot.

I've downloaded the plugin, saw the icon, have a dialog box but when I click on the drop down it's empty, click the buttons in the Profile Builder dialog box with no response.
Unload I think possible plug-ins that might create some conflicts like the housebuilder and building structure tool but to no avail.
Any idea would be welcome.
Thanks! -
house builder an building structures won't interfere with profile builder I use all three. I use the Pro ver so I can't say about the free one but you should have .rb file and a folder titled Profile Builder with a folder in it named library do you? Some libraries come with it and some you can download more on Smustard.

Thank you very much.

Thanks!Hello,
I don't believe there are any conflicts with those plugins. I have heard of the issue you are having before. It might be due to your Internet and Javascript settings. Profile Builder uses web dialogs which use javascript.
If you are using Windows, open Internet Explorer and try going to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Reset Internet Explorer Settings.
