3D Scaling
3D Scaling
(OP)
Hi All, Sorry for such a basic question. We have designed in 3D CATIA V5 a complex machined "valve block" component with many internally intercepting features. I now want to create exactly the same shape object, only 20% bigger. Can this easily be done in CAD ? I'm being informed by our CAD folks that they need to start over. I have researched, but could only find examples of simple shapes being scaled in 3D.
Thanks for any assistance.

RE: 3D Scaling
In the attached image you could add the scale factor of 1.2 to the 3D area with all remaining boolean commands remaining at 1.0 factor. In my example I have mold heating lines that I would like a certain distance away from part surface. I would need to adjust the point locations to accommodate the 20% increase.

CloserSupConfig()
Applies to a design table sheet. Returns the configuration which contains the smallest values greater or equal to the values of the given arguments. When several configurations meet this condition, the method sorts out the possible configurations with respect to the column order as it is specified in the argument list.
Syntax
sheet -> CloserSupConfig(columnName: String, minValue: Literal, ...): Integer
