Scaling objects with scale commands and gumball
- [Instructor] The need to change the size of an object comes up just about every time we use Rhino for Mac. And while it may sound basic, we've actually got lots of different options for scaling. I've opened up the exercise file, transform-scaled up 3dm. Here, we've got a really cool example model to practice scaling with. And this is from a 3-D scan I took of a real deer skull. So unlike most of the other objects we've seen so far, this one's a polygon mesh, but the scale commands all work the same, regardless of what type of geometry we're working with. So let's start with a basic three-dimensional scale using the scale 3-D command. And we can find that under the transform scale menu. Scale 3-D changes the size of an object in all three dimensions, and it does it uniformly. So that means the proportions of the object stay the same and it doesn't get squashed or stretched. So let's go ahead and click to activate scale…
