Hi,
This doesn't work here: it gives weird results, out of range, entities are moved elsewhere. If entities are not grouped at start, there are grouped at the end.
Am I missing something ???

Before/After a scale of 2:

changed the names in a script
Menu > Plugins > Resizer

On Mac I did not see the scaling tool palette. Is it Menu > Plugins > Scale?

Hi,
Dialog is ambiguous: "on all of axes" is not a target size but adds entered size to actual size. The final size would be better IMHO ?
Why choosing the bounds center as the center of transformation ?
I suggest not to use "to_cm" or "to_m" in the code, but to use only Length type variables. Thus you will suit everyone's unit, no matter what it is.
Useful script, though.

"on all of axes" ---How to name???
corrected all of other as you specified

[Didier Bur]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the resize operation works only for faces in XY,XZ and YZ planes (red,green,blue) ?
"On all of axes" -> "In every direction" ? English speaking people please help !
Another enhancement is to encapsulate in an operation for one step undo:

Code: Select all

def mashtabirovanie_create
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "Resize"
ss=Sketchup.active_model.selection
...
...
Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(nil)
Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation
end

[sahi]

Code: Select all

def mashtabirovanie_create
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "Resize"
ss=Sketchup.active_model.selection
...
...
Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(nil)
Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation
end

Thank you! Corrected a code.
Added an icon.

Equal "In every direction" is global settings for object of selection(world scaling system in most graphic packages...in attached pic, like cinema4d)
or about directions of red,green,blue, Didier, you are right/something like object system/

[marcosrodrigues]

Simple and very useful. Thank you!

I would replace the "on all of axes" line with a checkbox called 'lock aspect ratio' as shown in attached. or just change the name to 'uniform scale'.

I don't get what should I input in the Lock aspect ratio box in order to get the selection scaled proportionally to exact dimension input in one axis?

[Zacchia]

I like it. Thanks!

尺寸不正確
Size is not correct

Perhaps your bounding box has a different orientation than the box itself?

that would no sense if the plugin measures the bounding box instead of the geometry

Updated the plug-in in the first message

Should it work with SU19 ?
