scaling objects

Hey Michael thanks for a quick reply, yes I am trying to use the edit frame to scale an object in 1D, however my object is at an angle so when I scale using the edit frame it squashes it. Because my object is say at 45 degrees and edit frame is in the Z axis.

Also, is there a way to select objects inside objects, and also to see through objects, such as xray shading?
