Resizing
-
Hello & Happy Holidays.....
I have designed an Armoire, but now find that I would like to change the height and width only. I have studied the "using tape tool" tutorial and can use it, but is adjusts everything. I also know how to change components using the select/move tools, which would take forever to do the drawing. I just need to do a change to the entire model, but only height and width.
"RdEdits" has a great looking add on, but it is only for Windows........... Us Mac users always have to beg.....
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Mike,
How about the Scale tool ?
Use the top middle grip too scale only the height and again, the middle grip to scale on the side.

Hi Mike,
I feel compelled to pass this along- you CAN use the tape measure to get exact width or height etc. if you do it inside a group of the armoire. Then it will only affect what's in the group. I just learned this finally in the following video. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15162&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30#p116666

Gaieus, pbacot,
You guys are great! Hope your holiday is going good and lots of stuff to play with.
Gotta confess, after I posted my question it dawned on me about the "scale" tool. And I figured out about the different ways to use it..... good stuff. Feel bad about asking, but at the time I was lost.
Only drawback is if I resize the "thing" none of my "scenes" of the "thing" change to the new size..... It's not a problem because making several new dimension scenes is easier than resizing each component or a complete re-draw. I'm back cranking down the road..........
pbacot,,,,,, I like the "tape" tool and will play with the site you sent.
Thank again to both of you,,
Later
Mike
