If you edit shape of your profile and wall will be cuted like that shape.
To edit your profile go to Complex profiles - Profile manager

REad about this...you will need it A LOT
It this case we use profile to cut wall...but you can use profiles to get different shapes and you can use them with WALL, Beam and culumn
I hope that you will be able to folow this steps and i hope that this helps you.

OFC this is stupid and archicad wall supose to be able to strech and edit just like archicad slab tool. This all is workaround
