ii. Create and Save Custom Profiles
Profiles can be saved to your local
library complete with custom name,
orientation (anchor point, offsets,
rotation), dimensions, material and
layer. Create a new Profile simply
by drawing a face in your model and
adding it as a new Profile. Once you
save the profile, you can load it and
then re-use it in future projects.

iii. Create Assemblies with One Click
With the ‘Auto-assemble’ feature, it
is simple to create a multitude of
different assemblies at the touch of
a button. Just create the parts of
your assembly, select them, and
click ‘Auto-assemble’!

iv. Parametric Holes and Openings
Cut through nested groups and
components with ease with the
powerful hole tool. Profile Members
remember the properties of their
holes so you can modify the object
and the holes will be re-generated in
the proper location.

v. Build a Profile Along Any Path
One of the biggest complaints about
the SketchUp Follow Me tool is how
the profile orientation tends to rotate
along complex paths. Profile Builder
can handle any path you throw at it
and will always maintain the expected
orientation of the Profile..
