When unreasonable values are given (for example a radius equal or smaller than zero to certain column values MakeProfiles aborts with a notice to the users. This is a good warning and can help avoid unexpected behavior (for example the user specifying a column by mistake).

But when the profile doesn't need a parameter, such checks only cause confusion (for example for a point profile, which never uses the radius, axis ratio or truncation values), these warnings make no sense and are only confusing.

We should add checks to only check the validity of a column value when it is relevant to the given profile.

This issue was reported by Michael Stein.
