The Edit Curtain Wall tool is in the Building Shell tool set.
The Edit Curtain Wall tool manipulates the frames and panels of curtain walls. Once a curtain wall is selected with the tool, the modes allow you to select frames and panels; delete frames and panels; add, split, and combine frames; move frame and panel sets along a wall; and edit frame and panel settings.
When a curtain wall is selected with the Selection tool, two context menu commands become available. The Edit Using Reshape Tool command activates the Reshape tool to reshape the walls as described in Reshaping Walls. The Edit Using Edit Curtain Wall Tool command activates the Edit Curtain Wall tool.
