reshape curved walls, where did my tool go?

[grant_PD]

I used to be able to draw curved walls and then set the height on either side, but now I can't find the wall reshape tool?  Did this function go away, or taken away from spotlight users?

It should just be a case of double-clicking on the Wall to invoke the Edit Wall tool. Or you can select the tool in the Building Shell Tool Set. It is included in all versions except Fundamentals.

I double click and nothing happens.  I can't find the tool in my toolset either...

Do you need to edit your workspace? It definitely says it's included:

The wall Reshape tool icon looks like the wall tool with a superimposed pencil. I am finding that if I draw a curved wall and double click on the wall, that tool is activated. I can then add or delete points and raise/lower existing points.

It was indeed, not in my workspace.  Perhaps because it was renamed?  Anyway, all good now thanks!

I think it's a newish tool, originally the 3D Reshape tool, then that was combined with the 2D reshape tool into one Reshape tool, now...?

Yes I think prior to 2023 double clicking activated the Reshape Tool as this was how Walls were edited up to this point. Then when they brought in the Edit Wall tool they changed the double click behaviour so that it was this that was activated instead. But you would have needed to add it to your workspace if using a custom workspace...

This is correct.  Essentially, the 3D wall reshape behavior was removed from the Reshape tool, merged with the Edit Curtain Wall tool, and the tool was renamed "Edit Wall".  This was done to consolidate wall editing function into one tool and to prepare for possible future wall editing modes in the future.
