Here is a great tool that is underused and not understood by many. The STRETCH command will allow you to adjust/move objects like a window or door opening without having to do much effort on your part. The hard part is remembering that it requires a “crossing window.”

A crossing window is the green selection window that starts at the right side and finishes at the left (as seen below)

Here’s the rule to remember how this tool works. Whatever is completely within the crossing window gets moved. And whatever the crossing window is crossing gets stretched.

If you keep ortho on or are able to snap to something in the desired direction, you will find this tool to be very helpful.

Here’s How:

  • STR <enter> or STRETCH <enter> to start the STRETCH command
  • Select objects using and crossing window (default) or CP <enter> for crossing polygon.
  • You can also use C <enter> to make a crossing window in any direction as explained HERE.
  • Specify a base point anywhere along the direction in which you you plan on stretching.
  • move your cursor in the direction and either click to end or type in a distance.

The following animation shows how you can use any number of selection methods when selecting objects as I have mentioned before HERE. Notice that When prompted to “select objects” I enter C <enter> and then now matter which direction the window I make, it is always a “crossing window” (green window).

~Enjoy
