Stretching the whole object

Post by RobB » Fri Nov 26, 2021 2:14 pm

In attached file I created an object of which I want to stretch all elements.

According to the manual:
If there is a selection of entities, this tool only affects the selected entities. Otherwise, this tool operates on all entities in the given area.
Without selecting, I draw the stretch box. But only the filled in area's stretch. Also, selecting all elements has the same effect. Some stretch, others not.
Is there another way to strech the whole object?

Rob,

Please flatten your drawing to 2D.
Misc menu .. Modify .. Flatten ...

Regards,
CVH

OK, that solves it. Again a 3D issue.
Annoying, as I thought that I had drawn this one myself some time ago.
I assume there is no automatic flattening setting, when importing something.
Thanks, Rob
