    I am getting slightly frustrated with myself here.

    I knew I was able to create a IfcBeamType instancce with parametric profiels through the Blender UI.

    Only now I completely forgot on how to do it...

    Is there a tutorial somewhere?

    Also I have just published new chapters on this today :

    https://enac-cnpa.github.io/BlenderBIM-Tutoriel-Villa-Le-Sextant/5_modelisation-ifc.html

    I hope it helps

    Thank you , this way I can learn French and BlenderBIM at the same time. ;-)

    Hello, this seems to be a bug? On bimblenderbim-230131, the plus button no longer works to add an IfcMaterialProfileSet to an IfcBeamType or IfcMemberType :

    Sorry, it seems to be my bad, it now works on my computer too. I can't say why it didn't work, I even restarted Blender with a new IFC... Thanks for testing

    this help?

    In the latest unstable release I cant' see the IfcParametrizedProfileDef anywhere, where I could adjust the X and Y dimension. Also some questions, if I create a beam array what would be the most logical place to edit the profile?

    • the profile itself

    • the instance

    • the type

    There is a recently developed new profile manager in Scene Properties > IFC Geometry > IFC Profiles. The idea of having a profile manager instead of managing it at the object's level is that you'll usually want to organise profiles especially for structural purposes or reusing molding shapes, etc. You'll be able to create IfcParametrizedProfileDef there, though you won't see the word "IfcParametrizedProfileDef" as the dropdown immediately gives options for the subtypes of IfcParametrizedProfileDef.

    @Coen as per your suggestion the profile manager now has thumbnails thanks to Andrej730 https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/f01900bdb1cf20d87cabee5b990cb1fd8973e294 and various issues with unnamed profiles are now fixed too https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/42c4a681081636779b80e37e258e6941f4fc9874

    @RaphaëlVouilloz your bug of sometimes working, sometimes not was hard to track down, but I think it's now fixed: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/commit/9f37f73e52531bc31c6822f2856751e1ed814dfe

    Thanks, I'm using the latest release, however when I want to edit the profile, there are no profiles detected, and when I click it, the box turns blank:

    I've made this beam through the nice UI:

    And when I look in this menu it says there is a profile assigned?

    Just clueless on where to edit the X and Y dimensions of this beam.
