Stretch house?

Anonymous

I have a simple rectangle house in progress with slab floor, walls, and structural beams present. I am looking to adjust the width of a certain section of the house between two columns. Can I use the marquee tool to stretch the house along an axis so that i can change one bay from 14' span to 16' span without having to go in to the walls, beams, and floor slab individually to change them?

Yes. The heavy marquee will do all stories, the light marquee just the one you are on.

Be sure to:
-Turn off any layers you don't want affected
-make sure grouping is suspended
