More sketchup help

I've got a drawing in sketchup that's not wide enough, is it possible to stretch one side further away?

It's a chassis, which needs about 100mm adding to the width, I'd perfer not to have to draw it again it's taken me bloody ages!

Cheers

Chris

I know absolutely nothing about Sketchup but how about:

select all
Cut
Resize workspace
Paste

Any help?





Cheers,

Select each line that forms the side individually & then group them. Once you've done that, you can use the push/pull tool to re-size.

Okay.... Looking at it from the top with all the side peices vertical

Select all the vertical pieces on ONE side of the chassis leaving everything else unselected (that should be the opposite side and the horizontal 'cross members'.
Now assuming these crossmembers are not groups but are attached to the verical peices you should be able to use the Move tool to drag the vertical side out 100mm. this should stretch the horizontal bits.

Sorted
