Can not non-uniformely scale a solid/sheet
(OP)
i have tried and tried to

and it will not do it
tried on a solid no go
tried on sheets no go
exported out sheets as a igs brought them back in NO GO
Please help....

RE: Can not non-uniformely scale a solid/sheet
Using NX 7.5 I had no problem performing a...
Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Scale Body...
...using the 'General' type scale and applying different scale values along the X, y and Z axis.

RE: Can not non-uniformely scale a solid/sheet
I always used the scale through the
transform option.
I went ahead and used the Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Scale Body
on a simple solid (support post) and it worked using the scale body
The part i need to shrink was a solid from PRO_E.
tried it on that and it failed. It is a solid
Message told me that I had a face fail.
Do i need to rebuild the solid???
Thank you. I didnt even think of scale body

RE: Can not non-uniformely scale a solid/sheet
Heal didnt work for that part
Went ahead and found the problem area fixed it and
scale body did work gave me my different shrink rates.
The question I have is that this part has been a solid
from the the word go and i used all kinds of
solid functions. NX told me
it was a good solid.
So, why did it find that little face problem that I had to rebuild, only when I used scale body?
it has been a good solid for all fuctions
just not for scale body operation???
Thank you very much for help!!!!

Thats what the problem was on that solid
I had to fix a 3 sided rad at a intersection
of 2 ribs.
This is the first time I have seen this
Forum and it has been a great help..
Thank you John
