Cut holes in a steel structure with ProfileBuilder 4

[sentur]

Is it possible to create repeating cut holes in a ProfieBuilder profile? Trying to recreate this attached ref.

Have created the profile in PB4 without issue. Just the pill-shaped cutouts are trickier to create in a repeating manner.

I'd used a texture rather than actual geometry.

Otherwise it needs to be an Assembly where you array it end to end. That wouldn't work for curved paths though.

@Rich-O-Brien thank you.

The profile would only be on straight edge paths.

How would you achieve it as geometry? It’s likely I’ll need to export geo to another app at some point.

I'd make this section:

Then use that to make an Assembly

Assemblies

Assemblies let you combine unlimited Profiles and Components to create smart path-based objects such as railings, cavity walls, fences, stairs, roads, kitchen cabinets, and more. Assemblies are completely customizable and re-usable.
