You can define standardized values for the dimensions of parametric profiles. The standardized values are visible in the profile catalog where you can select suitable dimension values for the profiles.

1. Under the <installation folder>\Environments\<environment> folder, locate the industry_standard_profiles.inp file.

   The file location can vary depending on the folder structure of your environment files.

   For example, if you install Tekla Structures in the \Program Files\Tekla Structures\<version> folder, the file is located in the ..\ProgramData\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\Environments\<environment> folder.

   If there is no industry_standard_profiles.inp file in your environment, you can use the file from the default environment.

2. Copy the industry_standard_profiles.inp file and place it in your firm, project, or model folder.
3. Open the copied industry_standard_profiles.inp file using any standard text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad.
4. Modify the file.

   The file has the following format:

   • profile and profile subtype
   • parameters separated by spaces
   • units for each parameter
   • standardized values for each parameter.

     Each dimension combination has its own row.

5. Save the file.
