Stretch in ANY/EVERY direction?

Colin-Pearson — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 18:59:41 GMT

Hello folks. Is it possible to have a line with one end fixed, and a grip at the other end that would stretch the line in any direction? I'm picturing something like the combined action of a rotate and a stretch. I see lots of posts/answers about stretching in two directions at once (which I know how to do) but I'd like something where the grip end is totally free to go anywhere. Basically I want a line in the block to act exactly like how the grip would make the line behave if it were in Model Space. Thoughts? THANK YOU!

Sure. Use a point parameter and stretch action. See screencast.

Wow, okay, that was simple. I didn't realize the Stretch Action would act so differently based on what sort of Parameter it was attached to. thanks!
