stretching doors & windows in AC14

jbArch — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:37:28 GMT

Anyone else having trouble stretching doors & windows (plan view) in AC14?
I cannot get a pet palette to show a stretch function for doors or windows. Feeling quite thick headed... is there a hidden switch somewhere? This all worked fine in AC12 (I skipped 13).

I don't use this function much, since I usually prefer to just key in the sizes. But I'm using corner windows and hoping that they'll be less fussy if I just stretch to fit. (Note: I am having the problem with both corner windows and normal windows.)

Update to my own post: I've discovered that I can stretch windows by first selecting the windows and then using Edit/Reshape/Stretch, but would really like to have the old functionality of the pet palette.

cheers

jbArch:

It is there, the rightmost icon on the Pet Palette, I think this icon was changed at some point from an earlier version. It is also possible that the window you are using was scripted in such a way that it will not stretch.

Thanks David... I knew it would be right under my nose.
I was looking for the old stretch icon from an old version; didn't realize they'd changed it up.
