Most commonly there will only be a single profile item in a profile set. For example, a beam will have a material profile set containing a single profile item, which may have a steel material and a I-beam shaped profile curve. Note that the "profile item" represents a single extrusion in the profile set, whereas the "profile curve" represents a 2D curve used by a "profile item". Profile is not optional for IfcMaterialProfile but it is optional for this API call and can be assigned later with material.assign_profile. In some cases, a profiled element (i.e. beam, column) may be a composite beam or column and include multiple extrusions. This is rare. The order of the profiles does not matter. :param profile_set: The IfcMaterialProfileSet that the profile is part of. The profile set represents a group of profile items. See ifcopenshell.api.material.add_material_set for more information on how to add a profile set. :param material: The IfcMaterial that the profile item is made out of. :param profile: The IfcProfileDef that represents the 2D cross section of the the profile item. :param name: An optional name of the material profile (not the geometric profile). :return: The newly created IfcMaterialProfile Example: .. code:: python # Let's imagine we have a steel I-beam.
