Why dont you use the scale tool?
ASKER
yeah...but it rescales proportionately
Right, you are a beginner, okay.
You know the scale icon, click and hold it down then select the 3rd icon (it looks like a a4 page portrait with a white a4 page landscape).
Right now select you object, now select an axis point (y is green arrow, z is blue, x is yellow) if you roll your mouse over the axis it should turn yellow. click and drag.
This will constrain the scale to just that axis.
bish bosh, job done.
