: SURFACE : Deform:StretchShortcut
: NoneThis command stretches a surface in an axis direction. It is different from scaling in the sense that it in effect adds material at a fixed position, while the shape of the surface at the different sides that location is preserved as closely as possible. As parameters, the command asks:
1) the axis direction in which the surface is stretched.
2) the position around which the stretching happens.
3) the distance how much the object is stretched.
The accuracy of the stretching of trimmed surfaces depends on the definition of the surface. The command automaticaly determines if a the resulting surface will be accurate and refines the surface if necessary.
