Profiles placed by path along wall or smartline host inherit the characteristics of that of host when manipulated. The ungroup profile tool detaches their relationship from the host, thereby the manipulations made on profile are independent of the host.


Profile placed by path is grouped; 1. will rotate together with host Wall, 2. when ungrouped, will rotate individually

Note: The Detatch Profile from Host tool does not include tool settings.
