How to make same diameter ?

your link dosen't work
pls see my edit

The link works fine for me...

To edit the radius, you have to select only the circle, not the face! (And it will only work if it is a "real" SU circle)

p.s. if I mesure the radius with the TMT tool for the figure B = 2,04m
the one of the figure A is 1,78m,
so I rescale B, and it beginn 2,04 , so it's ok
but when I mesure the A radius again, it beginn 2,34m ...
very strange

Curviloft is free, but you could (should?!) use the donate button if you find the plugin useful...

ok, I see
now I succeeded to rescale the ''circle''
by changing infos of the radius on the entity windows
so it's a first step

but for rescale the whole pipe
it still doesn't work

Make shure that both pipes are in separate group and scale only one of them (while in edit mode of one of them)!

For other people it will be difficult to follow this topic if you change a lot in older posts, so it would be better to reply with a new post instead...

ok I see
my two pipes weren't separates components
so that's certainly why the issue appears

edit:
now I created 2 components A & B
but it still don't work

erzane

ok, I quote this time

so.. I succeeded to do it finally
the problem was that I had 2 components
(notion of ''group'' I never use it, only what I know about it it's that we can regroupe a number of components in one group, but don't know more about the subject. But perhaps now I have a different vision of it)

so I broke my B component and leaved only A as a component, like this the CPU recognized probabily A and B as 2 differents objects, that's why CPU didn't changed A after rescaling B this time.

is it correct ?

p.s. it's really difficult to measure the radius of 2 different sizes of circle precilely with the TMT. In my opinion the entity info (elementinformationen) is better for rescale anykind of circles based forms, by starting from an empty circle and adjusting after

You can rescale it directly .

Perhaps it would be easier to simply redraw one of the pipes so the diameters match? It's easy to get sucked into trying to repair something when the easier route would be to start over and do it right.

DaveR
yes sometime that's the best solution as you say

Eli862,
pls whitch tool did you use on 0:32 sec ?

Dave R

That's just the Move tool at :32.

erzane

ok
I didn't know it can do that
