Profile Builder 4

Parametric profiles and assemblies for SketchUp - model mouldings, framing, railings and piping at the speed of a path.

Profile Builder 4 turns repetitive building elements into parametric models: draw a path and a Profile Member extrudes along it - skirting, framing, piping, railings, kerbs - staying smart and editable rather than frozen geometry.

Assemblies go further: combine any number of profiles and components into one path-driven definition - a fence with posts, rails and palings, a deck edge with joists and handrail - and model metres of it in one stroke. For NZ residential and landscape documentation, this is the hours-back tool.

It's sold as a perpetual licence - pay once, future upgrades included.

Profile Members

Smart extrusions from parametric profiles - draw or pick a path and the profile follows, with orientation control along the way. Edit the profile later and the members update.

Assemblies

Unlimited profiles and components combined into one path-based definition with auto-assemble and adjustable heights - fences, balustrades, retaining details, services runs.

Editing that keeps up

Extend, split, trim and revolve tools plus a parametric hole tool - the modelling verbs these elements actually need, without exploding to raw geometry.

Build your own library

Save custom profiles - your standard details, your suppliers' sections - and reuse them across every project.

Profile Builder 4 FAQs

Do I need SketchUp Pro to run it?

Yes - extensions run in the SketchUp desktop app, so you need Pro or Studio.

Is it a subscription?

No - a perpetual licence: pay once, never expires, future upgrades included.

I own Profile Builder 3 - is there upgrade pricing?

Yes - the developer offers an upgrade discount for Profile Builder 3 owners. Talk to us before buying and we'll check what applies to your licence.

What's it best at?

Anything linear and repetitive: skirting and scotia, wall framing, fences and balustrades, piping and services, kerbs and edging. If you've modelled it plank by plank, Profile Builder is the fix.

Does it work on Mac?

It runs wherever desktop SketchUp runs - Windows and Mac.
