Issues with modeling in 3d - height stretch - AC27

Hey all, 

 

Having issues with using the 'stretch height' command in 3D. It seems to jam up the program, the only way to fix the issue is click off along the top bar of the window and then back into the working space. 

 

Seems to be happing across the board with this command in 3d - not just isolated to cabinets. 

the X marks where i need to click to get it back. This is the same across a team of 8.

keep calm! ...and don't think about this tool anymore. Archicad isn't going to do anything to fix this problem anytime soon.

Of course. It seems the tool will work only for subscribers. 🙄

Oh, the stretch bug ... Existing on all my computers since I forgot when. I am sure, it is not a bug, but a feature to let you understand our mortality and the passing of time. The only "hack" is to use a keyboard stretch shortcut ( ctrl+h ), strangely it works well

This bug was reported over a year ago and yet we are still waiting for it to be resolved. It's not a minor bug either - it's a significant function that is used frequently and needs to be resolved ASAP! Sort your sh!t out Graphisoft.

I have just reported this to tech support.

It would be a good idea if other affected users also reported it to their local support.

Also, I checked this in the 28 tech preview and I thought it was fixed.

I just checked again in the real version and it is not.

Yeah! I also thought they solved this issue but then again they didn't... This is very concerning...

In the end what is your Objective?

Yep, I checked in 28 after posting that comment and it's still an issue there as well! Lose more and more faith in Graphisoft every year.
