Building, component and outline blocks can be stretched (or scaled) at the building level. To stretch a block, first select it and then click on the 'Stretch' tool or select 'Stretch' from the right-click menu. You can only stretch one block at a time.

Tip: You can also key in the new dimension using the keyboard. Note the difference to the Drag face tool where the increment in the extrusion is keyed in
