Help Needed Resizing 3D Objects

[Alan]

Can someone tell me how to resize a 3D object without a proportional resize? For example, if I have a log or car 30' long, how can I change the length without the other dimensions changing?

Thanks,
Alan

Try double clicking, in the ODW(object data window), on the dx,dy,dz value that you want to change. You should be able to type in a new number and change the overall number. You may need to then move the start or end point to get the object in the desired position. Let me know if this worked for you.

I've tried this many different ways and have found none that work. The result is always resized. For example, if I stretch a wall, its height or width changes.

I have been partially successful in drilling down through the group and changing the vertices, but I end up with disconnected lines for the vertical (z) axis. I plan to try to tilt and rotate so that I can get to the vertical lines to delete them, then try connecting the contour planes, but all of this takes much longer than creating a new object.

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. I really appreciate suggestions.

Try right clicking on any of the dx, dy,dz fields in the ODW. A menu should popup with a choice for non-proportional resizing. I was able to do it with this setting.

Shut my mouth and call me lockjaw. I remember seeing that somewhere before, but I'd forgotten about it. Works perfectly.
