3D Reshape Modes

The Reshape tool changes the height and radius of an extruded object, tapered extrude, or a 3D object that is not a mesh object. In addition, use it to reshape walls (see Editing Walls), 3D polygons, and solid primitives (such as cylinders, hemispheres, cones, and spheres), reshape retaining walls (Vectorworks Design Series required), change the angle (rise/run) of roofs created with the Roof Face command, and reshape roof objects created with the Create Roof command (see Reshaping Roof Objects).

The Reshape tool generally has three modes when 3D functionality is enabled. Depending on the selected object, additional modes are available, as described in the associated sections.

For some objects, such as 3D solids, the reshaping functionality is accessed directly from the drawing, and the marquee modes display in the Tool bar.
