I am attempting to move this doorway up using the stretch command. I need to make the opening exactly 2" from the upper wall. My question is how do i determine that i have moved it the correct amount. i have no way to reference the distance from the horizontal wall at the top

let me also say that i understand how to use the @Anonymous to move a set distance. my problem is that the assignment says to stretch the doorway so that it opens at 2" from top. i wanted to know if there is a way to set that.
