I have a dilemma. This dilemma is almost 2 decades old now. In fact this dilemma is probably at least 6,000 yrs old.
Long story short, make a truncated cone approximately 6 inches in size, with a side angle of say 45 degrees; shelled out to a wall thickness of a ratio of about 1.5% of its overall size – just guess. For example, if the overall size of this object is 6 inches, then use wall thickness of approximately 80 thousandths of an inch.
Now, “scale” said object X,Y and not Z. And do this “scaling” without the shell walls changing angle and thickness.
That’s the dilemma.
From everything I’ve discerned about Rhino’s transformation tools, they all “stretch space” rather than “expand space”.
I would like tools that “expand space”. But maybe the words I should use is “grow space”?
There might be a simpler way of describing this dilemma.
I’m trying to keep it simple for now.
I might need to set something up in GH for further study…
