Pulling only one side of a token?

I was trying to make a Tarrasque token fit into a 6 x 6 square grid but I could not get it to fit since when you pull one side of a token, it stretches the entire token. I had to alter the grid squares to make it fit. Is there a way to simply stretch one side of a token instead? Or is that a feature that will be coming at a later date?

Hold down the 'alt' key when you resize and get it close to the 6x6 size. Once you let go of the alt key it should snap into that sized token.

I pressed the "alt" key but all it did was stretch all the sides as usual.

You can't scale just from one side. Tokens scale from the center. However, you should be able to stretch is if you grab the side, top or bottom and not a corner.

Yeah it stretches, I know that, but like you said it scales from the center. Which sucks because I cannot get it to fit into the grid properly. I have to change the entire grid scale, which means I gotta change all the tokens already set in place, too.

Razz, you should be able to scale the token to 6x6 without resizing the grid. Hold Alt while sizing the token to approximately 6x6. Release. Position the token in the center of your 6x6 area, you may wish to hold down Alt to get it where you want. Resize the token briefly and release. It should snap to the 6x6 area.

Or right-click on your token. Choose >Advanced>Set Dimensions>420 pixels. And it is done, no fumbling around.

If you resize it and you want to hit an even number for the square, like 2x2, 4x4 etc, you will have to release it while you have dragged it about halfway into a square, not when reaching the borders, that way you can only do the odd numbers. So if you start with 1x1, and then drag it half a square down and to the right for example, it will be 2x2 (since you added 0.5 squares to the lower and right and 0.5 to the upper and left borders for a total of +1 each making it 2x2) and will snap to the grid. If you want to reach 6x6 you will have to drag it 2.5 squares like this instead (so you add 5 total to the 1 you already have). Alternatively drag it 0.5 first, to make it 2x2 like described above, then you can more easily resize it and it will in fact line up to 6x6. I admit its a bit weird, and I really would prefer an option where it keeps anchored like it is and resizes only the corner i grab. It would make resizing much easier and smoother. Also it's how pretty much every application handles resizing so most people are actually used to it working like that.
