The Quick Profile Creator in ZetaBIM is a lightweight Revit plugin tool that helps you generate new profile families—especially for Curtain Wall Mullions, Railings, or custom geometry—in just a few clicks.
Instead of manually creating a profile family, assigning a category, and loading it back into your project, this tool simplifies the process directly within the Revit environment.
🛠️ How It Works
From the simple UI:
🔤 Profile Name: Enter a name for your new profile.
📂 Type Category: Choose the target Revit category (e.g., Curtain Wall Mullions).
➕ New Type (Toggle):
When ON → creates a new type inside an existing profile family (if it already exists).
When OFF → uses default settings.
🧹 Delete Detail Line (Toggle):
When ON → deletes the source detail line(s) after generating the profile.
Helps keep your workspace clean.
After setup, hit CREATE and you’re done.
🚀 Why It Matters
Traditionally in Revit, creating a custom profile is slow and repetitive:
Draw detail lines.
Open Family Editor.
Set up correct category.
Save, load, assign, repeat.
With ZetaBIM’s Quick Profile Creator, you skip all of that.
✅ Ideal for:
Curtain wall systems
Railing profiles
Mullions, trims, and more
✅ Benefits Summary
⏱️ Save time – Skip opening the Family Editor.
🎯 Accurate – Ensures correct category mapping.
📁 Organized – Auto-manages types and cleanup.
🧱 Seamless Workflow – All inside your current Revit model.
