Once you have created a sketched profile and saved it, you are ready to use it in the model. If you have applied constraints correctly, the shape of the profile will be maintained when you change its dimensions.

To use a sketched profile for a new part in a model:

  1. Open the part properties in the property pane.

    For example, to open the beam properties, on the Steel tab, hold down Shift and click .

  2. Click the ... button next to the Profile box.

    The Select Profile dialog box appears.

  3. Open the Others branch at the end of the profile tree.
  4. Select a sketched profile.
  5. If the profile is parametric, you can define its dimensions in the Value column on the General tab.
  6. Click OK to close the Select Profile dialog box.
  7. Pick points to place the part in the model.
