This transform tool does not take into account the pivot point or transform orientation. Offset Even :kbd:`S`, :kbd:`Alt` Scale the offset to give it a more even thickness. A greater offset factor is obtained vertices, which share faces, forming a more acute angle. .. list-table:: * - .. figure:: /images/modeling_meshes_editing_transform_shrink-fatten_before.png :width: 200px Mesh before shrink/flatten. - .. figure:: /images/modeling_meshes_editing_transform_shrink-fatten_inflate-positive.png :width: 200px Inflated using a positive value. - .. figure:: /images/modeling_meshes_editing_transform_shrink-fatten_inflate-negative.png :width: 200px Shrunk using a negative value.
