I am new to shapr, still using the free version and assessing it. I’m finding it to be mostly a remarkable app which can be learned very quickly, however I have had a couple of issues. I am trying to find a way of stretching and object, or to put it another way scaling in one dimension only. I did …

Hi @MurrayWP , thank you for your feedback, we know that this feature is a missing one. Although single dimension scaling is not available yet, direct modeling makes it possible to just select certain faces and move them to get the shape you are looking for

Hi Peter, thanks very much for that suggestion. Unfortunately I think it has limited application for what I want to do, sometimes doesn’t work on very complex objects and won’t work globally on a complete object. I believe there were a few historical requests in this forum going back some time, for…

Hi @MurrayWP , I totally see your point. Non-uniform scaling is on our timeline :slight_smile:

I hope we get this soon. I find it to be a major omission (so much so that I’ve finally signed up to this forum to add my voice to the discussion). I’ve imported some bolts that I want to be able to stretch (obviously changing the thread pitch) to customize for the model. This simply isn’t possible…

This feature would be very valuable when importing “stock” objects from CAD communities to model things like architecture, furniture, etc. It’s much easier to quickly “fit” stock objects into a scene by resizing along one dimension at a time, even if the object gets a bit distorted. For all the ot…

Hi @jpeskin , we already have a working prototype, and we’ll add non-uniform scaling in a couple of months.

I think the non-equal proportional scaling that you have repeatedly emphasized is definitely not just a uniaxial scaling similar to cube or rectant, which is too easy to achieve. It is not in the scope of discussion, but a uniaxial scaling of an elliptic body like a football. Flatten or lengthen it …

Funny you mentioned a football. I’ve modeled a rugby ball, a prolate spheroid, and stretched it on its long axis, to produce a form which I turned on my CNC router to produce a rolling pin for my wife, from the last remaining log from a tree we cut down. I modeled it in vectorworks, which, I’m told,…

That’s great! There are too many 3D software. In 3D MAX, non-equal scale is a basic function. What we are talking about now is looking forward to seeing it in Shapr3D. Since using Shapr3D, the modeling of standard parts, I have almost no longer used other 3D software. I believe more and more people …
