Stretch Beam Cross-Section

For a non-curved, non-segmented Beam:

In the Floor Plan or 3D window, use the Pet Palette commands to stretch the Beam’s cross-section dimensions.

Note: Beams can also be stretched in Section view, if the Beam reference line is perpendicular to the Section line.

Alternatively, use Edit > Reshape > Stretch.
