scale2D

This command scales only the two specified dimensions (X, Y, Z) of an object or objects by the same factor specified by the user.

Inline mode usage

scale2D -h: Displays the help file that summarizes the parameters for this command.
scale2D–all –p <scaleFactor>: Scales all objects with a scale factor.
scale2D<name> –p <scaleFactor>: Scales one selected object with a scale factor.
scale2D–nolocal -all –p <scaleFactor>: Scales all objects with a scale factor, ignoring the reference plane to apply it.
scale2D–nolocal <name> –p <scaleFactor>: Scales one selected object with a scale factor, ignoring the reference plane to apply it.

Invocation

scale2D or scale2D -all

Parameters

Objects to scale (when not using the all modifier). The objects can be selected by left-clicking on them in the geometry view (hold Ctrl for multiple selection) or by left-clicking on them in the tree view.
First Coordinate. One of the dimensions to be scaled. Only one of the values "x", "y" or "z" are allowed.
Second Coordinate. The other dimension to be scaled. Only one of the values "x", "y" or "z" (different of the first coordinate) are allowed.
Scale factor. Factors smaller than 1 decrease the size of the selected objects while factors greater than 1 magnify the objects.
By default, the selected objects will be scaled using the reference plane as reference. Optionally, the user can specify the -noLocal argument to ignore the reference plane when scaling.

We’re going to convert an ellipsoid into a sphere by using the scale2D command.
