Modifying Object: Stretching with Grips

Although the Stretch command can be very useful, it has largely been superseded by the use of "Grips" which allow this sort of modification to be made much more intuitively.

To stretch an object using grips, simply select the object by clicking on it (you can do this without starting a command). The object becomes highlighted and small square grips appear at each vertex and various snap points, depending upon the object type. Click a grip to activate it and click again to reposition it. When you have completed your modifications, use the Escape key (Esc) at the top left of your keyboard to deselect the object and release grips.
