Scale

Changes the size of selected objects uniformly in the x-, y-, and z-directions.

Steps:

1. Select

   objects.

2. Pick

   an origin.

3. Type the scale factor, or pick two reference points.

To scale an object from an arbitrary size to a specific one

1. Use the origin point and the first reference point to establish the original size of the object.

2. Type the new size for the second reference point.

Note: When scaling by dragging, the scale factor becomes the default the next time you use that scale command.

Scale1D

Changes the size of selected objects in one direction.

Steps:

1. Select

   objects.

2. Pick

   an origin.

3. Type the scale factor, or pick two reference points.

4. The objects expand or contract in the single direction specified, without expanding the objects in the other directions.

Note: When scaling by dragging, the scale factor becomes the default next time the Scale1D command is used.

Scale2D

Changes the size of selected objects in two directions.

Steps:

1. Select

   objects.

2. Pick

   an origin.

3. Type the scale factor, or pick two reference points.

4. The objects are expanded or contracted uniformly in the two directions of the axes of the active viewport construction plane where you specify the scale factor.

Note: When scaling by dragging, the scale factor becomes the default next time the Scale2D command is used.

ScaleNU

Changes the size of selected objects in three directions using different lengths for each direction.

Steps:

1. Select

   objects.

2. Pick

   an origin.

3. Type the x scale factor, or pick two reference points.

4. (Press Enter

   for a scale of 1.0.)

5. Type the y scale factor, or pick two reference points.

6. (Press Enter

   for a scale of 1.0.)

7. Type the z scale factor, or pick two reference points.

8. (Press Enter

   for a scale of 1.0.)

   The objects expand or contract in the three directions with the scale factor values specified.

Steps:

1. Select

3. Pick the end of the stretch axis.

4. Type the stretch factor or pick a point to stretch to.
