Sounds like you would need MaxonForm.

Can you post a screenshot so that we can see what EXACTLY do you need? Maybe it can be solved in a different way.

why not ArchiForma?

Oh, definitely!

Also, the GDL Toolbox is now free ...

Yes, Nik, that's right.

AF is great for twisting one profile into another, for example, But, to take an arbitrary chunk of model, created using any tools whatsoever, and twist it, MaxonForm is the answer. For example, if you were modeling a creepy house for Disney with windows, doors and all other elements and then wanted to twist the entire thing in an even creepier way ... only MaxonForm will do that.

Perhaps hana farhadi can post an image of what he/she wants to accomplish and we can all offer better advice.
