DM Profile Builder 2: Advanced Parametric Framing for SketchUp
Introduction
In the world of 3D modeling for architecture, construction, and woodworking, efficiency is paramount. Manually extruding profiles along paths (using SketchUp’s native Follow Me tool) is time-consuming, non-parametric, and difficult to edit. DM Profile Builder 2, developed by Didier Bur, is a powerful extension that transforms this process into an intelligent, parametric, and highly efficient workflow. It allows users to create, apply, and edit complex linear extrusions (moldings, railings, structural beams, trusses, and more) in seconds.
Time saved: 15 minutes of manual cleanup reduced to 15 seconds. DM Profile Builder 2 Plugin for Sketchup
Mitering, Joints & Corner Handling
- DPB2 handles automatic miters for standard corners; options determine miter length and addition of reveal/gap.
- For compound curves or non-planar corners:
Workflow Example: Adding Crown Molding
- Draw the room’s top perimeter as a path (a rectangle).
- Select a crown molding profile from the library (or draw your own).
- Click “Apply Profile” — the molding is instantly generated along the path.
- Realize the profile is too small → edit the profile’s dimensions → all segments update automatically.
- Need a corner cabinet? Just edit the path’s shape.
: Automatically rotates profiles to stay perpendicular to the path, a significant time-saver over the native "Follow Me" tool Performance & Usability DM Profile Builder 2: Advanced Parametric Framing for
