Scale facet body 2

[Ritchie]

Is there a way to scale a facet body? Or is this an "untouchable entity"?

What version of NX are you running?

Sorry I forgot to mention, 8.5!

I don't think that there is anything that can be done to 'scale' a faceted body. Note that in NX 9.0 we did add an option to create a Solid/Sheet body by applying a 'Rough Offset' to a Faceted body, but that of course is NOT that same as scaling a body.

@Ritchie, try Edit -> Transform. I just tested and was able to do a Uniform Scale to a faceted body. A non-uniform won't work however.

My bad, I forgot about the old functions ;-)

Great guys it worked, thanks a lot!

Another reason to not depricate the "Transform" function.

Thanks PhoeNX, did not know the non-uniform scale would not work on faceted bodies..

[green]To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?[/green]
