        Jean,

        Once again you proved to obtain a solution with basic SU tools, great!!
        We tend to forget the possibilities of more 'complex' ++ or +/- selections with Crtl and Shift.
        Thanks for sharing.

              I agree, Edson!
              And don't forget that both you and Jean are mods who can easily do this!

                      I wrote a random pushpull script ages ago - it's still available free on Didier's site and elsewhere...

                      IF you make the max. and min. variation in the 'range' then it push/pulls the selected faces by the same amount in one go...

                      Its function with a range and allowing random or stepped amounts of push/pulling gives similar results to the 'Grebble' script that's under discussion in other threads...

                          Hi All,

                          You could also used the attached Ruby script.

                          Description:
                          Push pull faces along a vector given with 2 clicks, in any direction.

                          Instruction/Usage:
                          Install:Just drop it in Plugins folder.
                          Menu: Context

                          Hope that helps.

                            thanks, brad. indeed, it allows one to push-pull in directions the straight tool will not allow. i played with it for a short while and came across some unexpected results, like being able to copy a face along one of its sides (see attached).

                            i wonder if anyone who has been using it for some time can tell us some practical ways to use it.

                              why not just use the "push/pull multiple faces" ruby for this? That's what I use 😉
