How does INSUL use Profiles?

INSUL uses a Profile to save the dimensions for a particular profile shape.

A Profile by itself does not include any information about the panel that is profiled. For example, it does not include information about the mass or thickness of the panel.

A four-step process can create an Custom material with a profile:

  1. In the Materials Editor, create a new Custom material
  2. Change the Type to either Corrugated, Trapezoidal or CompositeSteelFloor.
  3. With the Type change in Step 2, INSUL will show a Profile tab for the material.
