I am a reborn Profile builder devotee, having just gone back to a creative role and using SU in anger again. I have been happily creating assemblies.
I may being a bit thick, or missed something - is there a way of modifying the “path” of the assembly after it has been made. I’m just thinking for when I need to “adjust” it after the client has seen it and I have made loads of holes for doors etc.
See [Video number 5](https://support.mindsightstudios.com/hc/en-us/sections/360004860373-Official-Training-Course?_ga=2.163497852.1108629084.1563287968-1959050795.1549490857. Editing path is about the 6.30 mark.
Awesome - This button!
I’m at that point in a project where I have used a load of plugins to do stuff super fast and can’t remember how half of them work 
I’ll warn anyone using this path editor… it will reset the assembly, so alter the path THEN cut door/window holes. If you alter the path after cutting the holes you’ll loose them!
MindSight has another extension called DoubleCut that should enable the movement of the windows etc.
Late to this party and using Profile Builder 4 with Sketchup 2024. If you have a hole in an assembly and it is not a full depth hole, and then you move the assembly using the edit path mode, it looses the holes. It works ok with ‘full depth’ selected. But isn’t practical in many situations.
Is that a known issue?
Please upload the model for exact directions and suggestions.

It gives this error message when you try to use. I’ve tried it with an built in assembly as well as with one i made. I’m assuming it is a known bug. It works fine for holes that are full depth.
It is not actually an error message. It is informational and asking for a decision. Note the large question mark icon?
Of course I see that. So the choice is to make the change, and you loose the holes, or don’t make the change, and you are not able to make the change you want. So It would appear this is a known bug.
tks
I would argue it is a known limitation and the dialog is serving to inform the user.
Pretty sure it’s Profile Builder related. The file opens in SketchUp without any messages, but then I don’t have Profile Builder installed at the moment.
@Whaat may have a thought about when that error would appear.
Profile Builder is a great extension and PB4 came with improvements to the opening disappearing issue. If you have an issue affecting your ambitions contact Mind Sight, I have always found them responsive and helpful. They also appear keen to hear where things could be better.
You could post in this thread… Profile Builder Assembly Workshop
Ok. Tks
Semantics? I love language too.The net result is the same. But carry on making your arguments. Perhaps there is a philosophy of plug-ins topic better suited to your energy.
In PB, holes have a cutting position (x,y,z coordinate) so if you modify the path of the assembly, the partial-depth hole still exists but may no longer be at the expected position (the holes positions don’t automatically move with the path changes due to the various complexities associated with this type of behavior)
The messagebox is intended to warn you of this behavior. Sometimes, it won’t be a problem, and other times you will see an undesired result.
So I would consider this a known limitation of Profile Builder 4.
