- Often you will have created a surface or curve and upon further design, you will need to change the surface or curve’s size or shape.
- To scale an object in one direction only, navigate to Transform>Scale>Scale 1-D (or type “scale1d” into the command line).
- Select the object(s) you wish to scale.
- Select an origin point (this is the point that you want to scale from).
- You can now type a scale factor or you can specify a reference length from the origin (this is done by clicking on a point relative to the object you wish to scale).
- Now you can type in the new length/distance of the object and hit enter/return.
- Your object will now be scaled in only one direction to the new length/distance specified.
- For example, if you wanted to make an object longer, you would select an origin point to start from and then select a first reference point at the end of the object. You would then type the new length for the object and hit enter/return.
- If you wanted to scale an object in two dimensions, you could instead navigate to Transform>Scale>Scale 2-D (or type scale2d into the command line). Continue to follow steps 3-7 above to scale the object.
- Additionally, if you wanted to perform a uniform scale of the object in all directions, you can navigate to Transform>Scale>Scale 3-D (or type “scale” into the command line). Continue to follow steps 3-7 above to scale the object.
