Tip: Click on the specific modify tool icon to select the type of form modification, or press the spacebar to toggle between modification types, or use the following keyboard accelerators:

< H> - Modify Form Height
< B> - Modify Form Base Height
< T> - Modify Form Width
< E> - Extend Linear Form

Setting	Description
(Modify Form Height)	Method Add Distance — Extends the form by the Height setting when the mode is Absolute; extends the form by the Distance setting when the mode is Relative; extends the form by a data point when the mode is By Point. Settings enabled with Add Distance method: Height — Enabled with Absolute mode, sets the value for Absolute form height, measured from the form's baseline. Distance — Enabled with Relative mode, sets the value that is added to or subtracted from the current form height. Roof Tolerance — Enabled with To Shape method, sets the tolerance between the top of the wall and the curve of the roof. Delete Constructions — Enabled with To Shape method, the shape or form against which the form is extruded is deleted from the model when on. To Imaginary Line — Extends the form to an imaginary plane defined by 2 data points. To Form or Shape — Extends a linear form to a selected shape or form. To Plane (3 Pts) — extends the form to a plane defined by 3 data points. Mode Absolute — Modifies the form height to match the Height setting, measured from the form baseline. The form height is modified above the bottom face of the form with a positive value. The form height is modified below the bottom face of the form with a negative value. Relative — Modifies the form height to match the Distance setting, relative to the existing form height. A positive value increases form height and a negative value decreases form height. By Point — Modifies the form height to a data point entry.
(Modify Form Base Height)	Moves the base plane of a linear form by the Distance setting or by a point placed manually. Method Add Distance — Modifies the base height of the form by data points placed manually or by the Distance field setting. Settings enabled with Add Distance method: Distance — Controls how far the base plane of a form is moved when on. A positive value moves the base plane toward the top plane (up). A negative value moves the base plane away from the top plane (down). To Imaginary Line — Modifies the base height of the form to an imaginary plane defined by 2 data points. To Form or Shape — Modifies the base height of the form to a selected shape. To Plane (3 Pts) — Modifies the base height of the form to a plane defined by 3 data points.
(Modify Form Width)	Changes the width of a linear form. The new width is modified relative to the placement of the form. Form width is modified on the left side with a data point to the left of the form; form width is modified on the right side with a data point to the right of the form; form width is modified equally left and right with a data point in the center of the form. Mode Absolute — The form width is modified by the Thickness setting. Relative — The form width is modified by the Thickness setting, relative to existing form width. By Point — The form width is modified by a data point. Thickness — Enabled with the Absolute mode, sets the total (absolute) form width. Distance — Enabled with the Relative mode, sets the form width to equal the sum of the existing width plus Thickness setting. Imply Relationships — Maintains connection relationships with other forms when form width is modified.
(Extend Linear Form)	Extends the length of a linear form relative to its baseline. The form can only extend along the plane of orientation, which is determined when the form is originally placed. Method Add Distance — extends the form by data points placed manually or by the Distance setting. Settings enabled with Add Distance method: Distance — Enabled with Add Distance method, sets the value that a form is extended when on. A positive value lengthens the form, a negative value shortens the form. To Imaginary Line — extends the form to an imaginary plane defined by 2 data points. To Shape — extends a linear form to a selected shape. To Plane (3 Pts) — extends the form to a plane defined by 3 data points. Add Form — The extension modification is created as an additional form when on.
