Stretch Solids Constraints

[Bernhard_Maurer1 (Bernhard Maurer)]

Hello everybody

Is there a way to scale 1D objects and keep non-orthogonal surfaces like they are? Attached an example of a wall build up under a pitched roof where the thickness of the build-up layers need to be changed. If I do it with scale 1D the inclination of the facade meeting the roof changes.

Thanks

Bernhard

Nothing attached.

Try split the part you need to scale and scale an area that doesn’t deform the rest. Move parts back in place & join.

Here the example where I need to change the thickness of the buildup. Now my workflow is: scale 1D, then stretch everything along Z-axis and do a new cutplane with the roof angle to split all solids that have been transformed because of the thickness change…

Please give it a try wit SolidPtOn and PushPull

This all works very well with orthogonal objects. My question relates to the issue with the pitched roof - in Autocad I would try to use a constraint. Attached the example with -movesurface and -pushpull.

Hi Bernhard, try the Extend mode in Pushpull.

You also can achieve it with PushPull _Mode=Extend

That’s it! You guys are amazing. Thanks.
