            There is the scale tool. Select everything then the scale tool and start pulling one of the green "buttons".
            While doing so, Shift key will toggle between uniform/non-uniform scale, Ctrl key will toggle between scaling about opposite point / centre.

                I'm a few days into sketchup so bear with me πŸ˜„,

                How do you create 2/3 spheres? I'm trying to put a doorway into a thick walled ball and don't know how to erase/divide up a sphere.

                Also, in the welcoming message here there's a link for a semisphere tutorial that is 404'ed.

                    Well, Guite's examples may serve your needs. I do understand them so if there's any problem with them just tell us, please.

                    About the 404 error ("not found") - we had some problems with loosing some content so sorry for that. We'll try to replace it.

                        I don't know of a "crust" ruby. πŸ˜‰ But you've sure got me curious.
