    Hello Good Bentley Fellas I was wondering is there's any way to chamfer or fillet an edge or a wall that belongs to the catalog, or if it's a way to transform it into smart geometry to further editing. Best Regards Rafael

    Is there any way to change the orientation of the wall after setting it out? With "orientation" I mean the reference line of the wall. E.g. changing it from orientation "left" to "senter" or "right".
