Part Scale

Description
Part Scale scales shapes by a specified factor in all directions or by distinct factors in each cardinal direction. In the case of distinct factors, the shapes may be distorted.



Usage

 * 1) Optionally select one or more shapes in the 3D view or in the Tree view.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) A tasks panel opens.
 * 6) Optionally select the one or more shapes from the  list.
 * 7) Choose  or.
 * 8) Set the scaling factor(s).
 * 9) Click.
 * 10) The Tree view will list as many Scale objects as there were selected shapes. Each input shape is placed underneath its Scale object.

Task panel



 * button creates the scaled object, and closes the task panel.
 * button closes task panel, without doing anything.
 * button creates the scaled objects, but does not close the task panel. You can then select another shape from the list on the bottom, and create more scaled objects. Clicking many times creates many many scaled objects.
 * Shape list: here you select, which shapes to scale. If multiple shapes are selected, multiple Scale objects are created.

Properties
The Scale shape is defined by the following parameters, which can be edited after its creation in the Property editor.


 * Base: the input shape (the shape upon which the Part Scale was applied).


 * Uniform: controls uniform vs non-uniform scaling


 * Uniform Scale: the scale factor to use for uniform scaling


 * XScale, YScale, ZScale: the scale factors to use for non-uniform scaling
