I am in the process of editing the profile shape of an exterior brick wall. After i indicate where i want the new profile of the wall to be, after executing the command, one area consistantly offsets the line from the position that i want. I then receive the following error:

"line associated with a joined face has been moved. This action will cause the other walls to become disgoined from this face."

I have edited the exact same profile on the opposite side of the building with no problems. Can someone suggest what settings i should be looking for or possible wall joining issues??

thanks

Did you ever find a solution for this issue?  I've been having this exact problem, and cannot find a solution (or this problem even mentioned) anywhere else!

Your problem is probably the joined ends of the wall. 

It takes awhile to understand what happens with joined conditions and edited profiles.  Sometimes you need to split the wall horizontally at these conditions and only edit the top or lower area.  The split lines will not show up and if they do, you can just join the top & bottom walls.

Select the end of your wall where the node is and disallow join then edit profile.  Allow join after if need be.
