A curb can have as many different corner configurations as needed, including multiple 3D symbols and specified cuts. You can set up if-then statements to automatically use the appropriate symbol for each situation when setting up a curb style or curb preferences; see Curb preferences: Corner Configurations pane. However, certain individual curbs may require different settings than the default statements, or for small curbs you may choose not to establish default corner statements; you can edit each individual corner in a curb using the Reshape tool.

To change the treatment of an individual corner:

Select a curb.

Click the tool and mode, and click Edit Dialogs submode.

Click the blue handle on the corner to edit.

The Edit Corner dialog box opens.
