Grips problem in 3D and

[Mladen]

Hi,

I am a kind of a newbie. Worked in Autocad many years ago so please adjust your replies to have a details of how to. I am drawing a kitchen cabinets for DIY in 3D.

While drawing was simple I have managed to easily modify cabinets – CTRL + PICK WINDOW FROM LEFT TO RIGHT -> to have a RED GRIPS no the blue onea, and then MOVE commad to stretch cabinets. Q1.: What is the alternative way – STRETCH command doesn´t seem to work, it only moves elements of the cabinets.

Now, the drawing is a little bit more complex and with CTRL + PICK WINDOW I am not able to do afforementioned – it gives me solid faces center dots (Q2.: can I turn off that option (CTRL + W doesn´t seem to work). Even if all of the other elements in the nerby are isolated trought right click/islolate/hide the problem persist. Any ideas?

One more thing. On some box element, when selected I have only one dot/blue grip. Q3.: Why there are no blue arrows and rectangles for stretching?

I do most of a drawing with BOX command, Autocad 2019.

 

Sorry for simple and maybe foolish problems that I have, gratefull for support

I'm not sure what's going on with the red grips?

For Q1 and Q2 here is an example of what I am trying to do without plug-in mentioned in the video, but as said, I have managed to do so only when the drawing is simple without other cabinets (and faces) nearby. If there are other faces, then CTRL + WINDOW don´t allow red grips only red dots as mentioned
