    I do 3d stretch in plan view in plan view using z-only all the time. You just can't have the view dependent editing turned on. Which is a pain, but I have just turned to leaving it off.Statistics: Posted by Paul Nida — Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:11 am

  • DataCAD 19 • Re: Interior Elevations from Sketchup August 15, 2017
    Roger,Sections command worked! I had to adjust the options. By default the "background" was toggled off, which only yielded an outline of the section. With "background" on, it gave me the elevations I wanted to generate. Thanks for the help. I could never get the clip cubes to work.Statistics: Posted by artmanvt2000 — Tue Aug […]

    As for stretching in the z direction there is a z-only option in the 3d stretch command. If that will help.Statistics: Posted by Paul Nida — Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:43 pm
