Two different ways come to mind. Either select the area that you need to stretch with the marquee and then stretch; or use the adjust command -select the lines to stretch and then select a existing wall, line or draw a new adjustment line. Note that the fat marquee will stretch all of the stories at the same time and this may or may not be what you want.

if your walls meet at a single node and are grouped, just suspend grouping and drag the node from one of the walls, the other will follow . . .
similarly, you can edit a string of walls as you would a polyline (open or closed) if they all form part of the same group and you have grouping suspended.

What's the difference if the walls are grouped or not? When I select more than one wall and adjust 1 of them using the pet pallet polygon tools the others adjust grouped or not. Am I missing something?

(And ceiling slab, zones, fills, etc. ... anything with coincident vertecies which would deform properly individually.) Granted, the arrow tool cannot be used to tweak non-walls... any other tool must be selected.

Has this made it to the wishlist before, or would anyone want to do this? (It is quite different from "stretch", since it is actually deforming.)

thanks for pointing that out - it'll save me some weird grouping to get where i want to go.
