I've attached a image of the piece that needs to be extended... It needs to be at an angle though because it has been rotated at an angle, the bottom line is not straight, it needs to be extended to the floor...

I hope this helps.
- 1. I've mocked up something like your image.
2. The first step is to get an orthogonal view on the face to be reshaped. In this case I've opened an elevation onto the face, and tilted the model so the face is vertical.
3. Draw the shape you would like the face to be with the fill tool (trace over the elevated model). Then select the fill and face object, and useOBJECTiVE > Component > Change Profileto reshape the object.
4. This finished surface in elevation...
5. ...and in 3D.

I've tried doing it on a elevation but because the geometry is so angular, I always end up with gaps due to the elevation angle against the frame angle.
Looking at the image, how else could I go about adding pieces to this frame ? Would the 'assembly' work in 3D better than using the Elevation profiles

However, I think the answer lies in the fact that you can't solely construct this shape from the plane of the floor plan or an elevation. You will have to frequently reorientate the objects or assemblies that make up this structure to get a clear handle on the connections between them. You can use OBJECTiVE's assembly tools quite effectively to temporarily reorientate assemblies for modelling purposes and then return them to their original position.

How can I split this elevation profile again so that they become 2 separate pieces? I've split the original profile already on the top, but it's created to outer edges to still be joined together...
