Curving a roof

Hi,
I've inherited a model which has a curved building on - the roof is contructed as a complex wall, but seems quite facetted - its curve isn't as smooth as the wall it sits on (a separate element).

Is there a way of simply increasing the resolution of the curved roof, or will I have to recreate it? (Bit of a hassle to do).

I've tried changing magic wand settings, but I'm guessing they only affect elements created after that point?

Thanks,

Derek

Correct!

Assuming that you mean "Complex profile" wall, capture the section of the complex profile to redo the curved element.

If the element is a geometric curve, draw it with the curved wall tool, if an irregular curve, use the magic wand setting to control the smoothness.
