For a look at how professional extensions handle complex geometry like roofs, check out this architectural workflow video:
Profile Builder 2 is a major upgrade to the original Profile Builder extension. It turns basic 2D shapes into parametric "smart" objects. Instead of using SketchUp’s native, destructive Follow Me tool, Profile Builder 2 creates parametric extrusions that can be edited, scaled, and replaced at any point during your design workflow. Core Features and Capabilities 1. Parametric Profiles
Profile Builder 2 is a parametric modeling extension that takes the standard Follow Me tool and supercharges it with powerful features like custom profile libraries, parametric assemblies, and built-in quantity takeoff capabilities. It has become an , enabling them to model faster than ever while keeping models smart and adaptable to design changes.
Profiles remain upright on complex, helical paths, and you can edit the path at any time.
Before the release of later versions (Profile Builder 3 and 4, which are now part of the "BIM Bundle" with Quantifier Pro), Version 2 was widely adopted by woodworkers, architects, and city planners due to its stability and expansive feature set. Despite newer iterations being available today, many professionals still rely on Version 2 for specific workflows where heavy BIM functionality is not required.
