Rectangle resizing?

[TxTony]

I've been away from CAD for years and I'm completely lost.

 

I'm trying to change the size of a rectangle wall and I'm looking for "lenght" and "width" buttons in the properties manager box and can't figure it out. I thought I could just key in the new size after extablishing an anchor point.

 

I've tried lenthen and extend. But the object is a closed polyline and what I'm doing is not working. Not having much luck with the key-grips either.

 

The wall is 47'2" and I want it to be 46' 8".

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

thank you

Use Dimensional constraints, apply a linear dim, then type in the value you want, be sure to acquire the middle of the lines that describe the wall thickness rather than endpoints.

As noted - use dimension and geometry constraints or Ctrl select multiple points.

Stretch works for me

If this were being done as 2D a dynamic rectangle block where one uses a single corner grip for resizing would work too.
