Hallo,

Is there a possibility, to scale object in only one direction?  
Somthing like this.

Hello! Currently, it is not possible to scale in 1D in Shapr3D but in sketching, using constraints will help a lot get the same result:

Hi Peter,  
that’s not quite what I meant. Example:  
I have a parallel that I want to divide into 7 equal parts. How would you do that.

Greetings

Oh, I see. A single line cannot be divided into equal parts. If you wish to keep equal distances between elements, please connect them with lines and constraint those lines to be equal in length
