Scale Elements Node

The Scale Elements Node scales groups of connected edges and faces. When multiple selected faces/edges share the same vertices, they are scaled together. The center and scaling factor is averaged in this case.

Inputs

Mesh

Standard geometry input.

Selection

Whether to scale each edge or face. True values mean the element will be scaled, false means it will be unaffected.

Scale

The factor used to scale elements or groups of elements.

Center

Origin of the scaling for each element. If multiple elements are connected, their center is averaged.

Axis Single Axis Mode Only

Axis in which to scale the element. This input is normalized internally, so the length does not matter.

Properties

Domain

The element type to transform.

Face:

Scale individual faces or neighboring face islands.

Edge:

Scale individual edges or neighboring edge islands.

Scale Mode

Uniform:

Scale elements by the same factor in every direction.

Single Axis:

Scale elements in a single direction defined by the Direction input.

Output

Mesh

Standard geometry output.

Examples

The node is useful when combined with the Extrude Mesh Node, especially in Individual mode, where face islands don't need to be scaled together.
