          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...

                    Jean (Johnny) Lemire,

                    You have a gift for making what seems impossible easy.

                    Thanks!

                      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 πŸ˜‰
