Essentially, I... -

To do that manually it would take a crazy amount of time, so I was wondering if there is a way to do this quickly. I made this very elaborate image to show my point. In orang...- 11 replies

The problem is when I stretch it out and then stretch it back the last hole off of the beam does not disappear. I've attached the block. Thanks.... -
