Scale a mesh body

Use the Scale Mesh tool to scale mesh bodies from a reference point in Fusion.

1. In the Design workspace, on the Mesh tab, select Modify > Scale Mesh .

   The Scale Mesh dialog displays.

   In the canvas, a bounding box displays around each mesh.

2. In the canvas, select the mesh bodies to scale.

3. In the dialog, click the Point selector, then select a reference point to scale from.

4. Select a scale Type:

   • Uniform: Scales mesh bodies by the same scale factor in X, Y, and Z directions.
   • Nonuniform: Scales mesh bodies by a different scale factor in X, Y, and Z directions.

5. For the Uniform scale type, specify a single Scale Factor value.

6. For the Nonuniform scale type, specify a scale factor for each direction:

   • X Scale
   • Y Scale
   • Z Scale

7. Click OK.

The scaled mesh bodies display in the canvas. A Scale Mesh feature displays in the Timeline.

Tips

• When you hover over the bounding box of a mesh body in the canvas, the nearest reference point is highlighted.
• Use the Nonuniform scale type to scale mesh bodies by a different scale factor along the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Select multiple mesh bodies to scale them all at once from a common reference point.
• Right-click the feature in the Timeline and select Edit Feature to edit adjust its settings.
