Are there any profile builder tuts?

Hello all,

Anyone know of any tutorials on the new Profile Builder Ruby other than the PDF?

Thanks, Jeff

I guess I am looking for some examples of perfect situations to use it and some tricks that may be time saving. Anything would be good.

Thanks,

Jeff

I can show you some of the things I've used it for. If that helps. The project I'm currently working is perfect for PB.

Ok, think it's working now.

Here's some examples of a project where a glass roof is planned over an existing street.

With PB it was so easy just to draw up the paths and apply and replace the profiles very quickly. I'm about to change it again.

Great stuff....Are you applying separately to lets say the upright columns...then the roof frame...etc? Are the intersecting corners coming out nicely trimmed? Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

Looks like a nice solution, pretty elegant, down to the downspouts/columns. Anything further to share on this one?
