I would love to see a "resize" button that I can use to easily lengthen or shorten
bricks in-place. For example, if I used a 1x4x1 brick in my model but decided
to swap it out for a longer 1x6x1 brick, I would love to be able to just click
the "resize" button, which would make arrows appear in 6 different directions)
and elongate or shorten an existing brick in any of the three axes to obtain
the longer brick instead of having to delete the old brick, hunt down the new
brick in the menu, and place the new brick. Same goes to plates, tiles, liftarms,
etc. that are each just essentially the same "families" of elements that come
in many different sizes. Resizing the "height" might be a little tricker but
being able to resize in-place in the lateral axes would be great.

To be clear, this suggestion is meant for Lego Studio, not for Bricklink in general.

You should post this in the dedicated STUDIO forum:

Ask this is the studio forum. They could help more than this forum. Sounds like
a great idea though.
