Scale non-uniform along vector?
-
the group is from its untransformed bounds [from a temporary instance of it added to the face.parent.entities].
You know how long the 'edge' is [edge.length] so you can work out the ratio of the two values...
Now you can use that to scale the group.entities with a scaling-transformation along the xaxis only... and thereby the original group is scaled as needed.
Erase the temporary instance of the group to tidy up... -
Yeah, thanks TIG. All what you say is true.
All these transformations got my head spinning. So I ditched the scaling in the tilingmethod. Went with scaling(y in this case) at ORIGIN, just after loading the component. Before placing it on the face. Not as flexible as in a method, but it will hopefully work. I think Dan suggested something similar, earlier on in this thread.
Maybe that's what you had in mind all along as well, TIG. I just coulden't see it then..
Edit: When I reread you thread, did you mean to scale entities and that would become a "local" scale? Cause i did some scaling in x or y and it was in fact a global scale. The group moved from the face and tilted, even when putting the origin at center of bbox. I can't recall 100% sure if it was the group OR the entities I scaled. Ah heck. I'll try tomorrow then.. Like I said, rather had this transformation separate in the tiling method..
