Scale mortice and tenon doors

[johnfarris]

Hello folks
I am trying to figure out how I can scale mortice and tenon doors across the width without the tenon or haunches changing size.

So what I am after is to stretch the rails in the centre only along the red axis :?

Any help much appreciated

Stretch is your command, then, not scale.

Were is the stretch command?

There isn't a stretch command. You either need to select the edges on one side of the rails and move them, or select the faces and use the push /pull tool.

He hasn't said which drawing programme he is using. If it is a 3D programme (I wonder if this is Sketchup), then yes, you're right. In a 2D programme, I don't know of one without a stretch command.

You're quite right. I had assumed it was sketchup (not sure why I made that assumption), which is what my reply refers to

Yes it is Sketchup I am using not sure why I didn't say
When you say use the stretch command are you referring to push/pull?

Having done a little more research I think it a dynamic component I need to create.

This is how I normally do it, hoping to find a better way

Well if your rails are components then you only need to do it to one of them. If they're not components, just drag a selection down all three and move the edges as one.
