Modify Tool

Push/pull a face, offset it, align an edge or geometry, or extend a line

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

A massing study changes constantly as a deal's numbers move: a taller building here, a wider setback there. Use the Modify tool (icon looks like a face being pushed outward) to reshape an existing geometry instead of redrawing it. Click the down arrow on the Modify tool to choose from its five options.

Push/pull

Choose Push / pull, or press Shift+G, to push and pull a building's faces, edges, and points in 3D.

Offset

Align edge

Choose Align edge to line up one edge with another, like squaring a building to a property line.

Align feature

Extend line
