Hi Burr, if I understand you correctly try switching the "Maintain height" option to be on (checked) for your sweep.
That's one of the options that will show up in the upper-right area of the screen when you are doing your sweep.
When "Maintain height" is on, it will stretch things only in the one direction towards the scaling rail which I think is what you are asking about?
When "Maintain height" is off, things will instead get scaled in a uniform way, getting bigger or smaller in all directions instead of just in the direction towards the scaling rail.
In your case you have the scaling rail running along the top of the object, if you wanted the squishing to be more lateral instead of vertical, then switch ot the right-side view and rotate your scaling rail 90 degrees so it is on the side of the object that you want the stretching to go in.
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense!
