There is currently no way to manipulate the database that I have seen, however you can create your own profiles and name them as you wish and save them in subgroups and such.

Do you have any tutorial/document to learn how to make your own profiles and add them?

I have had the best success creating a REGION of the profile complete with all hollowed sections already subtracted.  Then select the create user profile button and select the region.  Make sure you have the naming correct when creating as there is no way to manipulate the database.  You can't rename, delete, modify or update the profile.  Any change to it will require a new name.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

I thought we could manipulate the database in a DB editor.

I had actually gone as far as "replacing" members in the xml files. I had to do this to get some stainless grades also. 

 

If you try this, make a backup of the xml files first Smiley Happy

...and fix the kiss export issues.

What interest me is to modify a section name (e.g.: TCAR to Tv)
