HI I need same help with the shape heldles. I have created a wall and then apply the parts option. Now I´ve selected one part and edited it in to two smaller ones. I need to re-shape the part, but when a select the part, it only gives 2 of 4 handles. How can a ¨unlock¨ the other 2 handles??

I'm not following your termanology and I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish.  You have a wall and apply the parts option?  What exactly are you doing?  If you are saying you have for example 5/8" gyp on 3 5/8" studs and you modify the profile to unlock the bottom and top of the gyp board to be able to drag the top and bottom past the stud in the vertical direction, that is not possible in the horizontal direction.

A screen shot is always helpful also.

Sorry about the english, I´m doing my best to write as clear as posible. 

I´m trying to draw the conection between a wall and a floor. But lets focus on the wall. So a draw a wall, converted into parts, one of the part I divided in two others. When a select one of those parts it only gives me one handle on the botton and another on the side. I need the one on the other vertical, on the top. When a select the other half it gives the top handle and the left. But not the botton and the other side. So how can i get the other handle to work??

Your english is fine no worries, I just don't really understand your process.  You have one wall that you are dividing into 3 pieces so you basically have 3 different walls?  Why not just draw 3 seperate walls?

I'm assuming you used the split face tool on your wall.  If that is what you did there is no grip for the portion that you split, it is all still part of the same wall assembly so you will still only get your grips at the top, bottom, left, and right of the actual wall (not the split), you can simply grab onto the split and drag it to the desired location.

Sorry about the delay on the answer.

OK, so when I sub divide parts of a wall, for instance, the shape handle continuos to respect the original form of the part. But I did understand the alternative. To grab the split and simply move it. If I try to move the split it gives an error, that he can´t "copy" it and that I should try coping the original. A bit odd that the message says that I can´t copy when instead I´m trying to move.

I added another picturer. I´m trying to move the wall part beneath the floor. it is posible?
