mido609 Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Please guys, I need AutCAD Lips or Macro or any method to scale a 3D object in one direction only without converting it to block. please I need it urgent. Thanks Quote
MSasu Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 For sure it depends of the geometry of the said solid, but for some cases the PRESSPULL command or SOLIDEDIT (move/extrude faces) may help you. Quote
SEANT Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 If the '3D Object' is a 3DSolid (and it sounds like it is) then there may not be a viable option. How complex is this object? can you post the geometry? Edit: Yeah, what MSasu said. Quote
irneb Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 When you say you don't want it converted to a block, may it be converted temporarily, scaled and then exploded? Quote

Thank you for your response, and it's a complicated shape it's a Clamp and it consists from more than 6 parts and it's a union of all these parts. Quote

MSasu Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Maybe I miss something, but a block containg a solid once scalled with different factors on axis cannot be exploded. Quote
mido609 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 Maybe I miss something, but a block containg a solid once scalled with different factors on axis cannot be exploded. sure u r right so I need another method to perform this scaling in one direction on 3D solid Quote
SEANT Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 As I mentioned previously, I don't think you will find a viable automated, AutoCAD only process. Post an example of the geometry. Perhaps we can offer other options. Quote
