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) 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) Choose  or.
 * 7) Set the scaling factor(s).
 * 8) Click.

Alternatively, the selection can be done after launching the command, by selecting one or more shapes from the list in the tasks panel.

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 at the bottom, and create more scaled objects.
 * list: here you select, which shapes to scale. If multiple shapes are selected, multiple Scale objects are created.

Properties

A Part Scale object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

 * : The input shape (the shape upon which the Part Scale was applied).
 * : Controls uniform vs non-uniform scaling
 * : The scale factor for uniform scaling
 * : The X scale factor for non-uniform scaling.
 * : The Y scale factor, idem.
 * : The Z scale factor, idem.
