Editing Part Geometry

You can edit the geometry of a selected part by dragging the shape handles on planar faces. When you create parts from the layers of a wall or other host element, you can use this technique to prepare a view that effectively shows the composition of the various layers.

Shape handles for parts do not display by default. Use the following procedure to display them for editing part geometry.

1. In the drawing area, select the part whose geometry you want to edit.
2. On the Properties palette, under Identity Data, select the Show Shape Handles option.
3. Drag the shape handles on planar faces to edit part geometry as needed.
   Note: Any changes you make to the geometry of a part will not be retained by the original element if any of the parts derived from it are subsequently deleted.
