Help please with custom profile for BEAMS FS

owen_sparks

Hi folks.

It would appear that I've failed miserably to add a profile to the excellent beams FS. 

Setting it up in accordance with @NeilCooke 's video seemed to go perfectly, but when I come to use it it throws an error of:-
"Attempt to dereference non-container undefined"



Thinking I might have made a mess of the profile I tried adding a plain rectangle but got the same error.  So there are two additions

"Aluminium Extrusion" : Aluminium_Extrusions,<br>"OwenS_Dummy_Profile" : OwenS_Dummy_Profile

If anyone is free to have a poke about and tell me what I've done wrong I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Owen S

The feature is looking for specific fields in the lookupTable by name. So where you have:

        "name" : "Extrusion",

You should have:

<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "name" : "profile",</div><div></div>

like the other tables. The display name (shown to users in the dialog) can still be whatever you want.
