Custom Geometry Modifiers in Profiles

Users can create more intelligent Profiles for Walls, Beams and Columns, by defining parametric edges in the Profile Editor.

This allows offset or control of individual (or multiple) edges, at the instance level, either graphically or via element settings. This enhancement combines the power of parametrics with the freedom of graphical profile creation.

Features include:

A single profile can be manipulated and edited at the instance level, decreasing the need to create and manage multiple similar Profiles

Manipulate the profile numerically via its settings dialog, or graphically in Floor Plan, Section and 3D

Parametric modifiers and their values can be labeled, scheduled and used in Expression-type properties

Existing Stretch Zones (renamed to Stretch Modifiers) have been enhanced to work better with parametric modifiers; stretch modifiers can now be compressed

Stretch modifiers have been renamed from Vertical/Horizontal Stretch to Height/Width Stretch

New nominal width and height definitions in the Profile: these can be used where the total width/height values aren't the relevant or required values for the Profile. In settings dialogs, user can edit the nominal - with feedback via tooltip - of both values

Updated and live handling of uniform contour and separator line overrides

Updated and new Profiles in the template now take advantage of these parametric modifiers
