I'm working on a coordinated view and I am attempting to use the Perspective Vessel object (to show level of the tank). I'm trying to expand the size of the vessel where I can have the vessel expand in the open space on the screen shot.

When using a symbol from symbol factory, I saw a prop preserveAspectRatio that could be set to none. I am not seeing anything like that for this. Any ideas?  
Thanks

Hi,

Are you familiar with style properties in Perspective, specifically the `overflow` style? Perhaps you could use this to manipulate your object a little further.

I know this is necro-ing an old thread, but I'm having the exact same issue and overflow does not allow you to stretch an object from what I can see. It lets me decide how to handle the object when it overflows by either always showing a scroll bar, never showing a scroll bar, or letting ignition automatically display it as needed.

Is there a way to let perspective symbols automatically stretch to fill the bounds of dimensions you set for it?
