Capture Selected Element for New Profile

Select the element, then do one of the following:

Click Capture button in Profile Manager

Options > Complex Profiles > Capture Profile of Selection

//helpcenter.graphisoft.com/wp-content/uploads/ac22_help/040-elementsvb/CaptureButton.png 

The new profile is called “Custom”.

Save Custom Profile

After editing a captured Custom profile in the Profile Editor window, make sure you click Save Profile to save your edits and name the new Profile, before closing the window.

Alternatively, click Apply to apply a one-off custom to a selected Wall, Beam or Column.

Note: Custom profiles are not directly assigned to elements from the Profile Manager, but locally stored in the element.
