        ProfileBuilder can build an Assembly from a selection.

        Model parts needs to be accurate though. If things have skewed axis location you'll end up with a mess.

          I have a problem making the blocks without intersecting eachother when drawing. Tryng to maximize with whole blocks only, -that is -no overlapping geometry.

                The component axis sets the insertion point location. Try setting the brick component axis to be the center so all rotation originates from that location.

                That would mean using the Left/Right offset value to get what you need.
