Profile length remains fixed at original extrusion length.

In Quantifier Pro, Quantifier Dialog, changes to a group, for example changing the lenght of a footing after it is a extruded profile created in Profile Builder or a saved component in model, the volume updates in Quantity Dialog and Cost reports but lenght and area do not update. I have checked all the settings. Volume changes correctly when I modify the object created using either method and cost in all QP reports increases or decreases appropriately as per cost item on objects layer. Profiles and Assemblies always reflect the original extrution lenght even after changes to object. I’m using Sketchup Pro ’21 on a MAc mini M1machine.

  Hello Jim - how are you changing the length?  Are you using the Profile Builder Extend tool or the PB Edit Path tool?  If you use the Push / Pull or Move tool, the length and area will likely not be correct because Quantifier Pro will no longer be able to read the correct length of the profile member (footing).

  Volume is correct because volume is not calculated based on length.  It is calculated using a complex volume algorithm which can determine the volume of an arbitrary solid.

  I hope this helps!
