Complex profiles for every thing

I would love if your complex profile manager could handle multiple roof layers as well as mesh layers, column layers, beam layers.

Or, to take it further, if you could define Complex Profiles and apply them to edges of elements, such as Roofs or Slabs.

That's EVEN better... Oh how I dread the section drawings... Why not be able to put the edge profile in!

There is a current workaround to do this:
Create the Complex Profile and apply it to a Wall or Beam.
Draw it on the edge of the Roof, then perform a Solid Element Operation with the Roof as Target, the Wall/Beam as Operator to remove the overlapping parts.
But you have to manage it, maybe keep the Operator grouped with the Roof.
You can put these operators on a separate layer that is wireframe and normally hidden, shown only when managing SEOs.

I like the idea of shingles pooping off the roof. Look out below.

It must have been a late night at the office for the shingles to be pooping off the roof...

Hahaha... thank you SOOOOOOOOooo much for pointing that out...
