I know the feeling man... Just used it to modify a platform set on wide flange columns, about 20 columns total, probably. Simply put it on elevation view, stretched the whole thing down... wah-lah!
No more solidedit->F->M(or E) on each one, copying to replace the others
No more slicing to shorten a column then moving the rest
No more messing with the elusive Presspull, trying to find the right view that'll let you pick the right face, hoping other objects don't get in the way...
simply... stretch the platform down/up... done. Two clicks, a base point, and another click or distance for the stretch... cake.
Top autocad addition ever.
