Description

Creates a new resized Mesh object with independent sizing for each axis.

Usage

Select the Mesh object to be resized.
Select the OpenSCAD → Resize Mesh Feature option from the menu.
Enter the resizing value.
A new Mesh object is created and resized, the original object is rendered hidden.

Limitations

The new Mesh object is not parametric to the original mesh object, which means any changes to the original object do not get reflected in the new mirrored object.

Notes

The function does not modify the existing mesh, but returns a new mesh.

Scripting

The function can be accessed via Python:

import OpenSCADUtils
import Mesh
#this assumes an existing object in the document named "Mesh" that you wish to mirror
original_mesh = App.ActiveDocument.Mesh
resized_mesh = OpenSCADUtils.resizemesh(original_mesh.Mesh, FreeCAD.Base.Vector(100,50,40))
#New mesh would be 100 mm on the x axis, 50 mm on the y axis, and 40 mm on the z axis.
Mesh.show(resized_mesh)
