Hi @Anonymous 

Is this the contour cut from the Steel tab? If so if you are using 2019 or 2020 then unfortunatly you will have to delete the contour and recreate.

For 2021 you now have the ability to edit these contour cuts, see video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVmNyneE9VM

It is Contour cut on the Steel tab. I am unable to select the contour to modify?

Yes Rob, it is Contour cut on the Steel tab. Thanks.

I am using Revit 2021. 

As per the video link, after you have selected the beam, Revit is allowing you to select that particular contour.

After selecting the beam, am not able to edit boundary as Revit is not allowing me to pick or select the contour to modify?

Hi, You don`t have to select the beam in order to select the contour cut. The "tab" option is used for selecting the modifiers (contour cut, shorten, cope, etc). After selecting the contour cut, the edit option should be available in the ribbon,  in Revit 2021. I hope it helps. If not please send us more information ( a print screen with the situation that you encounter)

Hi,
I was having the sane issue. You just simply have to change your 'Detail level' into fine first then you can tab and select the contour object. 

hope this could help!

And is it possible to copy and paste the Contour Cut as it is with Structure Cut? 

Thanks in advance

Doesn't work.

Using 2022 cant select the contour cuts, just the beam.

In visibility / graphics, select Structural Connections and make sure that Modifiers is turned on.
