How to stretch something?

I need to stretch something. I often need to do this.

I can get into the Geometry Editor, I can select polygons or vertices. I can use the selection tool to select the part I want to stretch. It draws a red box and shows a small red donut on the selected parts.

Now all I want to do is stretch it a bit in one direction and save the change. How do I do that? I can't seem to manipulate the surfaces or vertices once they are selected.

I'm using a stylus, not a mouse.

The Geometry Editor isn't a modelling tool. What yu need to do is apply a dForm, from the Toolbar or the Create menu, then activate the Node Weight Map brush tool, in the Tool settings ad the Influence Weights map, and use the Geometry Editor for selection along with the Node Weight Map Brush to select and weight the areas of the model that you want the dForm to affect.

Okay, thank you.

Very often I just need a small change and it's not something available on the sliders and it seems like overkill to export, make a tiny change, and re-import.  I'll work through your instructions.
