Cholomanchuten Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Is it posible to constrain Scaling a 3d object in only ONE axis in ACAD 2006? If not possible, then would it be possible in 2008? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 You can edit 3Dsolids with grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholomanchuten Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yeah, but in Autocad 2006 I don't have grips. Besides, i can't work precisely with grips (specifying displacement measures for example). I need a percentaje scale in one axis. It's incredible that no one in Autodesk thought about this.

ScribbleJ Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 3D modeling in AutoCad is a marriage of 3D StudioMax with AutoCad. The two are quite different with some similarities. It has evolved a lot since they started using 3D StudioMax features in AutoCad. Have you tried to use properties to get the results your looking for? You can input precise measurements there. Also one way I have gotten around the axis scaling is by creating a block out of what I want to scale. Then when I insert it I choose the axis I want to scale during the insertion dialog.

ReMark Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Then use the Move Faces command. Precision "stretching" can be accomplished via the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It works! Thanks guys. Which "It" is that? Did you use the block method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
