NOTE After you perform an editing task from the Edit in Place

contextual tab, you may need to select a profile again to perform

another editing task. If you do not see the editing commands that

you expect on the contextual tab, re-select a profile to redisplay the

Edit in Place contextual tab.

Then…If you want to…

select the profile, and use edge and

vertex grips to adjust the shape.

change the shape of the perimeter

of the profile or its rings

The Edge grip has two edit modes:

Stretch and Move. The default

mode is Stretch, and the direction

of the stretch depends on the orient-

ation of edges connected to the

selected edge. For example, if the

edges at both ends of the selected

edge are parallel to each other, the

grip edit mode is Stretch (Parallel)

and the stretch direction is limited

to the direction of the parallel

edges. If the connected edges are

not parallel, the grip edit mode is

Stretch (Offset) and the stretch dir-

ection is perpendicular to the direc-

tion of the selected edge. The Move

edit mode allows an unconstrained

move of the selected edge.
