A profile is a 2-dimensional (2D) outline of a geometric shape. Using Content Builder, creating a profile is as easy as drawing a closed shape. Profiles are similar to geometry in that they are a visual representation of the 2D shapes that make up the model. Because profiles automatically associate constraints to the geometry, you can use profiles as a source of information from which to create features. You create profiles on a work plane and apply modifiers, such as extrusions, to them.
Content Builder provides 4 types of profiles to use for creating features in the model:
Creates a profile based on a circle defined by a center point and diameter to maintain its shape.
Creates a profile based on a rectangle defined by 4 lines, 4 points, and 4 perpendicular constraints to maintain its shape.
Creates a profile based on an oval defined by 2 lines, 2 arcs, 4 points, and 4 tangent constraints to maintain its shape.
Creates a profile from existing geometry in the model. The geometry must be attached to a single work plane. Constraints are assigned as needed to maintain the shape of the geometry as it was selected.
