To Create a Profile for a Door and Window Assembly Frame

Use this procedure to create a profile that you can use to define the shape of a door/window assembly frame. You can then extrude the profile to create a door/window assembly frame.

The height and the width of the polyline you use to create the profile define the default height and width of the door/window assembly frame. The insertion point of the profile is aligned with the centroid of the frame.

  1. Draw a closed polyline of the height and the depth needed for the resulting door/window assembly frame.
  2. Select the polyline, right-click, and click Convert to Profile Definition.
  3. Enter c (Centroid) for the insertion point of the profile.

    The insertion point of the profile is aligned with the centroid of the frame.

  4. Enter a name for the profile, and click OK.

    You can now use the profile as a door/window assembly frame.
