4. To customize the marquee for the Stretch operation, click Marquee. The Marquee tab opens.
5. Set one or more of the marquee options:
◦ References—Select optional references for the marquee.
◦ Active Axis—Type Start and End values to determine the size of the marquee. The range depends on the Marquee Size type you selected.
◦ Marquee Size—Select a method of measurement to set the dimensions of the active axis.
| When you create an Absolute marquee size and use optional references, you must edit the referenced object outside of the Warp feature to change the marquee's length. |
You can also modify the marquee by dragging its faces. For example, if the direction of the stretch axis is along the x-axis, drag the right and the left faces of the marquee to adjust the region for stretching. If the stretch axis is in the direction of the y-axis, drag the top and the bottom faces of the marquee to adjust the region for stretching.
6. Drag the stretch handle to stretch the geometry or double-click the value for scale and enter a new value. Alternatively, type a value for stretching the geometry in the Scale box on the tab.
