Resize

On the Wireframe tab, in the Editing group: Select More | Resize to resize a wireframe around a specified point, and by a specified resize (%) value.

Input Wireframe

Specify the type and name of the input wireframe.

Resize

Enter a percentage value that will be used to scale the wireframe to size in each (or all) directions.

Use values greater than 100 to increase size and values less than 100 to decrease size. To Scale equally in all directions select the check box option. Entering a value of 10%, for example, will reduce the wireframe to 10% of its current size in the chosen direction(s).

Resize around

Specify the point around which the wireframe object will be resized:

  • Centre - The centre of the bounding box that defines the extent of the object.
  • Centroid - The centre of gravity of the object.
  • Point - A user-defined point. If this option is selected, enter the X,Y,Z coordinates of the point, or use the Pick Point In Vizex option to select the position.

Output Wireframe

Select the Overwrite input wireframe option if you want the result of the process to be applied to the Input wireframe/s.

If the Overwrite input wireframe option is selected for a wireframe Set, all input wireframes are overwritten with their cleaned counterparts. If the option is not selected, the output Name is disabled and new wireframes are created for the output Type with the same name as their inputs.

If the Overwrite input wireframe is not selected for a Single wireframe, a cleaned output wireframe will be created and the input wireframe will not be overwritten.

If the option is not selected for a Single wireframe and an ad hoc Set is specified, new wireframes are created in the output Type. Names for these are provided by the output Name field, followed by an underscore “_” and the name of the input wireframe from which they came.

Output

Type and Name

Specify the type and name of the Output wireframe.

Colour

Specify a default display colour for the Output wireframe.

Attributes

Click the Attributes button to set Wireframe Attributes for the wireframe output.

User-defined attributes may be mapped against the fields in the Input file. It is also possible to specify a default value for each attribute. Default values are used when a corresponding value in the Input file is either missing or is not mapped.

Auto load

Select this option to load the generated output in Vizex. The default draw style for an auto-loaded wireframe is 3D Shaded.

Forms

Click the Forms button to select and open a saved form set, or if a form set has been loaded, save the current form set.

OK

Finally, click OK to begin the process.
