Profiles in Revit

In Revit, a profile is a single line, chain of connected lines, or closed loop that can be used to generate a form. Profiles can be designed so that the user can manipulate it to change the geometry of a form. It can be added to the following forms types namely, extrusions, lofts and sweeps.
The following is an example wherein a predefined profile is used in slab edge.
The profile shape for this particular slab edge is a flexible one. The user can duplicate the predefined family properties or select from a list of predefined types.

Other common use of profiles can be found in Wall reveals and sweeps, steel framing which I usually advocate the use of it for complex framing form.
