Stretch

Stretches an object using a set of grips along a defined path.

After selecting Stretch you are prompted to select an object to stretch.

Note:

If the object is selected before selecting Stretch this prompt does not appear.

After selecting the object, you are prompted to select the grip set by a window or a polygon.

Using window, includes all grips within the window.

Using polygon includes all grips within the polygon but allows you to avoid or include grips that would be included or missed when using the window option.

To complete the grip set you can use multiple windows or a combination of windows and polygons.

To finish selecting the grip set, enter Return.

You are then prompted to select the Basepoint or Displacement.

After selecting Basepoint, either pick the point graphically or enter the basepoint position values. You are then prompted to pick the second basepoint to stretch the object.

Selecting Displacement stretches the object relative to (0,0,0), either clicked in the 3D graphical view or typed as a value. Back, moves one step back.
