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.
Direction Single Axis Mode Only: Direction 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.

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.
