How to Add 3'9" in the middle of all 4 stories

The client wants to add 3'9" to the overall length of a 4-story structure.  I don't have a roof to worry about, but what's the most effective way to do this?  I tried Edit Area (All Floors) but it's only moving the floor I'm on.  VX7.

 

Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know I was on the right track!  I surely would not move all floors, but I did get each floor stretched independently and clean up appears to be manageable.  I would be entitled to assistance via Chief since I don't maintain SSA, isn't that right?

You find a stretch zone (line) on your plan, and run edit area (all floors)  - draw the rectangle over the area you intend to move; now the cursor will stretch or contract the structure . Use Edit>Default Settings>Plan > Arrow Key scroll distance to set the distance you want to expand or contract. That way one key press is enough.
