User-Defined Profile Types

Next to the default available standard profile types, the user can define their own profile types.

Within each set of norms, a maximum of 4 extra profile types can be defined with profile type numbers ranging from 421 to 448.

The presentation of these profiles in the various viewing directions is done by means of the type file method as is also used for the definitions of such as the end shapes of profiles. The type files are stored in the profs, profs3d and profs2d directory.

To read more about building the type files for user-defined profiles, go to Profile Types in the Norm Type Files section of Administrator's Guides.

Go to Construction > Profiles > User Defined Profiles settings in the System Management to add the user-defined profiles to the available profiles in Hull.
