CUSTOM CLADDING CREATION

[muleman1]

We have created a custom cladding profile, where do we save it so we can use when we create cladding?

Hi,

This is a fairly old thread, but a new problem for me.

I'm able to create a new user profile, and detail this as a single beam item. But where do I save it so the AstorRules can find the file? 

I understood the naming conventions in Profile Classes and Profile Info where the same as the user section Hyoe_TypeName and Hype_Section Name. But when I create a cladding, the user profile is not in the cladding options.

I assume its something easy I missed somewhere.

Hi,

have you tried to follow this FAQ over adding sections to the cladding macros:

You have to add the section type to the ProfileMasterList in your database. I had issues with spaces in my name and removed them to use dashes instead, which seemed to do the trick.
