In this chapter, you will learn how to create and manage project profiles. You will define technical parameters such as profile dimensions, bar lengths and deductions, enter estimation values and use reference profiles to transfer data. You will learn how to copy and delete profiles and make them available for estimation in the input of element. These functions enable precise adjustment of profiles to project-specific requirements.
