Profiles such as steel tubes, aluminum L-profiles, wooden beams, skirting boards and trim are found in almost every project. Since Para-Flex 25.6, it has been possible to add additional material libraries. With its own profile and beam library, Para-Flex becomes more versatile and these components can be used in cut lists, reports and optimizations within trade lengths.   <\/p>\n<p>This article tells you how to easily link and use a profile library.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1rem||1rem||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0rem||1rem||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;2rem||0rem||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;2rem||0rem||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Why a profile library?<\/h2>\n<p>Adding a profile library allows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>automatically include profiles in saw lists<\/li>\n<li>manage different materials such as steel, aluminum and wood<\/li>\n<li>Optimize profiles based on available trade lengths<\/li>\n<li>expand existing catalogs and workflows within IronCAD and Para-Flex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>As of version 25.6.1.5, much has been prepared.
