Stretch a slab horizontally in elevation/section view

Greg

I think the title says it all. Having to switch to floor plan view to stretch a slab while working on a section or elevation seems like a monumental waste of time. Walls, doors and windows can be stretched horizontally or vertically while in section/elevation view, so why not slabs? 3-D cutaways have a suite of slab editing tools, but I find that editing while having to look at the entire outline of an irregularly shaped floor slab to be futile. Turn the model? Move the cut away? Old-fashioned switching between plan and elevation/section to stretch edges is much faster than that, but still too slow and tedious. Am I missing something?

 

Bottom line: I wish editing slabs in section/elevation view had the same pet pallet with the familiar stretch a side, make a new node, fillet/chamfer etc. as slab editing tools in 3-D view.

 

PS if anyone knows how to stretch a slab horizontally in section, please let me know how it is done.

Hi @Greg , I agree this would be helpful. I think the challenge comes when the slab isn't rectangular and perpendicular to the view. Perhaps this is why this hasn't been implemented.
