Scaling a Geometry

The Scaling command lets you transform a geometry by scaling it according to a reference element.

  1. Under Result, select one of the following options:
    • : the result of the transformation is a surface.
    • : the result of the transformation is a volume.

    Important: This switch only applies to volumes as the transformation of a surface can only be a surface.

    If you multiselect volumes and surfaces as inputs, the switch only affects volumes.

  2. In the work area, select the geometry to scale.

    Note: You can select several geometries.

  3. Select the element to use as reference for the scaling.

    The reference element can be a point, a plane, or a planar surface.

  4. In the Ratio box, define a scale factor by entering a value.
  5. Validate .
