Modify Element Sizes

Most of the operations can be performed in three ways:

Edit menu command

Keyboard Shortcuts

Commands from Pet Palettes

In some cases, only the pet palette is available.

Some general considerations:

Some GDL Object type elements are programmed to allow only specific sizes, or include smart editing hotspots to edit their shape graphically.

Stretch is available for most types of selected elements in both the Floor Plan and the 3D Window. Only drawing elements can be stretched in the Section/Elevation/IE, 3D Document and Detail/Worksheet windows.

The Stretch command cannot be used on polygonal elements, but you can stretch their edges or displace any of their nodes graphically.
