Profile command: Create the shank

Step 1: Profile Command

In the "Components tab", find the "Profile command".

Step 2: Profile Library

Select the profile curve and use the Profile command; for this case, use model 001 and edit it.

Step 3: Extrud Command

We will need a reference surface for the profile. In the Surface tab, select the Extrude command

Select the ring curve, ensure the Both Sides option is set to Yes in the command prompt, type 10, and press Enter.

Step 4: Edit the Profile

Select the profile and click on edit.

Now, select the surface and add it as a reference by clicking in the Profile panel.

Step 6: Create New Profile Curves

To create two different profiles on the bottom, activate all options in the Osnap panel except Project and Disable.

Step 7: Place Profile

Use the + button to duplicate Profile 1 and Profile 2. Click on the bottom of the piece when you see 'End, Knot.

Now we have 4 profiles, and we can edit each one to customize our shank.

Note that each profile has a different color, matching the color of the gumball for that element. This makes it easier to identify each one.
