Lengthen lines or arcs
-
In AutoCad, there is a command calle Lengthen. You can take any line, arc, or polyline, and change the total length or add / remove distance from the line, arc, or polyline. Is there any ruby script or function in Sketchup that is similar?
Thanks.

For lines, you can use the move tool to grab an endpoint of a line and move it the required distance.
I dont know of any method (rubies included) that can lengthen arcs.

You can also sort lengthen an arc by having nothing selected, then activate the move tool. Then click on one end of the arc and move it. The other end will stay put. But the radius gets bigger, so its really sort of like scaling equally the x and y. So you might be better off actually using the scale tool and only scale 1 direction to get it to grow in length, but not radius. You can also type in a length intoth e scale measurement value.
