Object Stretching

The option stretches an object. The option is available using either method:

• Click Edit menu > Edit Objects > Stretching.
• Click .

The option is available for the following structure types: shell and volumetric structure. The option is available if Solid Modeler is installed.

To stretch an object:

1. Select one or more objects to be stretched.
2. In the dialog, specify the coordinates of the segment to be stretched. In the Origin (P1) and End (P2) fields define the coordinates of the points defining the object area to be stretched. This area is located between two planes (which pass correspondingly through the origin and endpoint) that are perpendicular to the segment. Outside this area, the objects are not changed.
3. Specify the type of stretching:
   • Absolute - Specify the coordinates of P3 to which P2 point moves.
   • Relative - Specify a scale coefficient. Scale value > 1 indicates stretching; whereas, scale value < 1 reduces the length of the segment.
4. Click Apply.
