The reshape tool in FormZ 8.5.4 creates a smooth object. This is not always as versatile as a facetted object. Turning a reshape from smooth to facetted can produce bad geometry if starting with a composite curve profile produced from polyline, sorry, vector line with spline curve for example.
The attached illustration takes you through a process which will repair the profile so it is fit to use for good facetted results.
There is also a zipped formZ file which additionally includes an example of extruding instead of reshaping. In either case, the profile requires repair.
The key to the repair is: convert the smooth object to facetted and start over again, this time using a composite curve profile taken from the facetted object.
