Edit Profile of Curved Wall

Is there a way to "edit profile" of a curved wall?   A work around I guess would be a 3d in place wall family with a void shape cutting it.  https://drive.google.com/a/designbuildllc.com/file/d/1ZkK1_ogomRX2qBk7hNAFZCiB6aCiMImb/view?usp=driv...

I think the only option is an In-Place Void Cut.

of a modeled in place family, yes.   Can you do it to a wall, drawn with wall command?

Draw a roof by extrusion and attach the wall to it. Then hide the roof.

Sure. That's what's shown in screenshot above.  

 

Here's another from inside In-Place editing mode. Draw void and then use Cut Geometry to cut Wall with it. Close out In-Place Edit mode and you've got a re-shaped Wall.

Hello

 

Wall profile edit is not available for curved walls.

one way to achieve it is, 

Split the wall wherever the angle is changing.

Draw reference lines as per required.

Attached the wall to those reference lines.. ( Just the way we attached walls to levels )

break walls and then attach to ref line, great tip!    (maybe you mean ref. plane, no sweat, easy to try both)

 

Next challenge - a way to attach a cap profile to the top.

You can create a railing to attach to the top - it just needs a rail with the correct profile.

Looks like he just drew a roof by extrusion, attached the wall to the roof, and hid the roof.
