BIMAPPLYPROFILE command

Applies a profile to linear entities and linear solids.

Icon:

Description

Allows you to add profiles, to detach current profile and to convert solids to line.

Note: Linear entities accepted: lines, polylines, arcs, circles, elliptical arcs, ellipses and helixes. Open and closed splines are accepted only if they have default tangents that are not self-intersecting.

Methods

There are two methods to apply profiles:

  • Choose a profile from the library.
  • Choose a profile entity in the drawing.

Options within the BIMAPPLYPROFILE command

Select path
Select linear entities or linear solids.
Select profile
Select a profile entity in the drawing (a closed 2D entity, a region or an existing linear solid) or press Enter to display the Profiles dialog box.
Apply profile?
  • Quarter turn: rotates the profile 90° counterclockwise.
  • Rotate: rotates the profile at a user-defined angle. Positive values rotate the profile counterclockwise.
  • Delete clippings: removes all clippings from the selected linear solid(s).

If you select as path linear solids, you have three options:

  • Library: change the profile.
  • Convert solids to line: converts linear solids to their axis line.
  • Detach current profile(s): detaches profiles only if the entities have an attached profile.
