Stretch a 3d object from midpoint

[Anonymous]

I am trying to make the tube longer without changing the ends. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

>> trying to make the tube longer

Which type of object is it?

"3D object" is not enough information, it could be a 3D-Solid or some surfaces or a block (or multiple ones)?

Thank you for you reply. I have attached a copy of the drawing. It is a 3D Solid.

Make a copy, slice a piece of it in the middle, butt them up then union?

I was looking for a solution that would allow me to more easily adjust the length rather than having to sum the 3 lengths and line them all up again as I have numerous drawings that are nearly the same but with varying lengths and bores.

Some shape can be stretch by holding down the ctrl button, click on the egde and stretch, but some can't.

I would then separate the objects, having a connector object and a pipe. The pipe alone can be modified in length either by using _SOLIDEDIT or by creating a block from that object and modify the block scale value that corresponds to the length.
