Specifies the general settings for the profile.
Name
Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display
in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name
is not defined by a rule, 
displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, 
displays. If you enter a name in this box, Smart 3D automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Rule
Specifies how the name is created.
StdProfileSystemNamingRule - Uses the following syntax: <Parent Name>-<Index Number><Profile Type>-<Index Number>. For example, L3-1LBH-1-1L-1, where L3-1LBH-1 is the parent name, 1L is an index number appended by the profile type, and 1 is an index number. The profile type abbreviations are L for longitudinal, V for vertical, T for Transversal, R for ring, and A for axial.
StdHierarchyChildNamingRule - Uses the following syntax: <Parent Name><System Object Type>. For example, L3-1LBH-1-IJStiffenerSystem2, where L3-1LBH-1 is the parent name, and IJStiffenerSystem2 is the object type.
User Defined - Indicates that you want to type a name in the Name box.
Type
Specifies the type of profile. The profile type is used by the naming rule in naming the profile system and by the molded conventions assigned to the parent plate system.
Naming Category
Specifies the naming category. The naming rule uses the category in naming the profile part that is a child to the profile system.
Parent System
Displays the parent system for the object.
Landing Curve Definition Method
Specifies the name of the profile system command used to create the profile.
Specification
Specifies the specification for the object. This property is inherited from the parent system.
Description
Specifies a description for the object.
Continuity
Specifies the default behavior for an object that intersects another plate system or profile.
Continuous
Indicates that this object penetrates other plate systems and profile systems that the object intersects.
Intercostal
Indicates that this object is split by the other plate systems and profile systems that the object intersects.
This property can only be modified at the root system.
Split Priority
Specifies the priority when two profile systems having the same Continuity setting intersect. The profile with the lowest split priority number penetrates the other system. For example, if two profile systems intersect and the Continuity setting of both is Continuous, the profile with the lowest Split Priority number splits the other profile system. You can modify this property only on the root system.
Active
Specifies whether a leaf system is active and applicable for modeling, drawing, and
reporting operations. To exclude the leaf system from these operations, select No. In the Workspace Explorer, the lock icon 
is shown over the icon of the deactivated leaf system, and the detailed or light
part associated with the leaf system is also deleted. In addition, because connections
to deactivated leaf system are not valid, you must resolve such invalid connections
in the To Do List. To change the leaf profile system back to the active state, select Yes; however, to have the detailed part, you must detail the leaf system explicitly.
See Marine Structure Hierarchy in the Workspace Explorer.
Identifying Parent Values for Leaf Properties
For a property on a leaf system, the value assigned to the root system contains an asterisk (*), such as:
This makes it easy to see whether the currently assigned value for a leaf property is different from the parent property. You can also change a modifiable leaf property back to the root value without first checking the root value in the root system Properties dialog.
The asterisk (*) only displays in the Properties dialog for a leaf system.
