Stretch 1D Member

Stretch the 1D Member along its length (local X axis), so that it can connect to another nearby Member.

For each stretch adjuster, you can set a maximum allowed stretch distance (“Max. stretch”). This distance is measured between unadjusted 1D Member Nodes and/or unadjusted 2D Member planes.

Note: The defined tolerances are length-type values: The units specified for Length in Preferences > Working Units apply.
