Can't modify polysolid

After creating a custom polysolid in elevations Chief won't allow me to modify the shape.  For example I'm adding in a panel on the exterior of a sunroom.  The quickest way I've found to accomplish this is through poly solids in elevation then copy that shape to other walls and modify the openings as are needed.  However, now in X17 - chief won't allow me to.

I've reported the error but am I missing something

Hmm.. first thing I'd look to see if the layer is locked.  I haven't switched to 17 yet, so I don't know if its a bug or not.  Would a wall material region work best here?

Seems to be working for me. 

I created Elevation 1 and drew a 3D Solid across the wall.

Used the Add Break tool to create the openings for the doors

and windows. 

In Plan View I copied the 3D Solid, rotated it 90 degrees and

positioned it against the end wall.

Created Elevation 2 and selected the 3D Solid. All the edit

handles were available and I reshaped the 3D Solid to fit the

end view.
