Reshaping objects

The Reshape tool reshapes an existing object by moving, removing, changing, or adding to its vertices. Change the length of objects (including dimensions), reshape single objects, or reshape multiple objects at once. Reshape polygons and polylines, including lines drawn with the Freehand tool (which are considered polylines). In addition, specify exact radius measurements for circular arc control points. The Reshape tool can also be used to reshape 3D solids, walls, roofs, NURBS curves and surfaces, and other objects.

The modes and functionality available for the Reshape tool depend on the currently selected object or objects, and the current view.

Functionality enabled	Selection or view
2D reshape	● 2D planar or screen object, in any view ● Multiple objects selected, in any view, or a reshape marquee exists ● Wall, roof object, plug-in object in Top/Plan view
3D reshape	● Single 3D polygon, 3D solid, NURBS curve, NURBS surface, section line (Vectorworks Design Series required), in any view ● Single wall, roof object, plug-in object with custom reshape behavior (such as the retaining wall site modifier, Vectorworks Design Series required), in a 3D view
