Updating Database model (.edmx) Model First

I am having a few problems with updating the model in EF using Model First.

I have exhausted my efforts with the suggestions of adding migrations (which is normally done using Code First).

The Package Manager Console prints the message

Creating a DbModelBuilder or writing the EDMX from a DbContext created using Database First or Model First is not supported. EDMX can only be obtained from a Code First DbContext created without using an existing DbCompiledModel.

I have also tried this suggestion

Updating model in EF Database First project

However nothing happens when i click "Run Custom Tool"

Any suggestions please on how to update the model to reflect the changes that have been added to the database.
