Functionality

This node will allow you to scale any king of geometry. It works directly with vertices, not with matrixes, so the output will be just scaled geometry from your original vertices.

Inputs

All inputs are vectorized and they will accept single or multiple values. There is three inputs:

  • Vertices

  • Centers

  • Scale

  • Factor

Parameters

All parameters except Vertices has a default value. Factor can be given by the node or an external input.

Param

Type

Default

Description

Vertices

Vector

none

vertices to scale

Centers

Vector

(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

point from which the scaling will be done

Scale

Vector

(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)

Axis scaling

Multiplier

Float

1.0

Uniform multiplier factor

Advanced Parameters

In the N-Panel (and on the right-click menu) you can find:

Output NumPy: Output NumPy arrays in stead of regular lists (makes the node faster)

List Match: Define how list with different lengths should be matched

Outputs

Only Vertices will be generated. Depending on the type of the inputs, if more than one factor or centers are set, then more objects will be outputted. If you generate more outputs than inputs were given, then is probably that you need to use list Repeater with your edges or polygons.

The node will match different data structures, in this case this mechanism is used to create surface is generated from a line:
