Scale

Resize selected geometry about a chosen reference point.

Where to find it

Geometry workspace; System → Geometry

How to use it

Select the input objects, one positive Scale factor and Center X/Y/Z, then inspect the resulting dimensions. Choose Build All Geometry to update Graphics.

Settings and initial values

Setting	Initial value	Meaning
Objects	`all`	Select earlier objects by label or a named selection; comma or semicolon separates labels and all selects available inputs. Confirm the highlight so an unrelated object is not transformed.
Keep input entities	`false`	When enabled, retain the original selected objects as well as the operation result. When disabled, replace the selected inputs with the result. Retained overlapping solids can require different material or mesh selections; inspect them before solving.
Scale	`2`	Set one positive, dimensionless scale factor for all directions about Center X/Y/Z. A factor of 2 doubles lengths and a factor of 1 leaves them unchanged. Use Mirror, not a negative scale, for reflection.
Center X	`0[m]`	Set the fixed global x coordinate of the scaling reference point. Points are moved relative to this center by the Scale factor; this is not a translation offset. Use metres or compatible units.
Center Y	`0[m]`	Set the fixed global y coordinate of the scaling reference point. Points are moved relative to this center by the Scale factor; this is not a translation offset. Use metres or compatible units.
Center Z	`0[m]`	Set the fixed global z coordinate of the scaling reference point. Points are moved relative to this center by the Scale factor; this is not a translation offset. Use metres or compatible units.

Result

Built solids and their selectable entities appear in Graphics.

Troubleshooting

Scaling geometry does not automatically mean that loads or material properties should be scaled.
