To Edit the Geometry of a Wall Modifier

Use this procedure to edit the geometry of a wall modifier that is applied to a wall. You can edit the vertices and edges of the wall modifier or replace the geometry with that of another polyline. You can save the changes to the current wall modifier style or to a new style.

2. Click Wall tabModify panelPlan Modifiers drop-downEdit Profile In Place.
3. If prompted that the modifier is not drawn to size, click Yes.
   

   A temporary profile is created for you to edit the geometry of the wall modifier. If the wall contains multiple wall modifiers, a profile is created for each wall modifier.

4. Note: After you perform an editing task, you may need to select a profile again to perform another editing task.
   Edit the profile:
