I use Viacad pro, version 7.

I drew an aluminum manifold, which is basically a block with a punch of fancy holes. Customer wants bigger mounting holes so the block will grow from 4.5" x 4.5" x 6.75", to 4.5" x 4.5" x 7".

When I select the block and change the length dimension, it adds the 1/4" to the one end, instead of what I want to do, which is add an 1/8 on one side, and an 1/8 on the other.

What is the easiest way to do what I'm trying to do, or do I need to just add the 1/4 then move every detail?

"Offset face" tool, move the end faces 1/8" each is probably the short'n'sweetest.

Thanks!

Sorry for the newbie question, but where on the pallet do I find it?
