Blast it. I'm stuck at the very first tutorial in Quickstart.

According to the tutorial, the way to squash or stretch scale is to click on the model tool, then click on X Y or Z. Then drag on the red handle. That makes perfect sense.

The only problem is that the cube scales uniformly no matter which of these axis is clicked.

The only way I see to alter on an axis is through the "edit properties" menu, not by intuitively dragging.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I hope that this isn't a harbinger of more bad time-guzzling documentation to come.

Make the cube real geometry,editable ('C' key) and then try again.

Or put it in a Null and scale the Null.
