Placing an Object with Scale Factors

Place an object in the model at any position and with specified xyz scale factors. The orientation of the original object is maintained.

Type the name of the object or press Enter for the library dialog box and select the object (see Using the library dialog box).

Enter three scaling factors by which the X, Y, and Z dimensions of the original are multiplied respectively. Specifying a negative value for any of the factors causes the object to be reflected.

Define the positioning point. The origin point of the object is placed at this point (see illustration).

You may continue placing the object with the same scale factors at other positions or press Enter to set new scale factors.
