Nice! Yes, FredoScale is exactly what I need! Thanks so much Jeff!
It does something weird for the top drawer though, if I try doing a 'z' stretch in the blue direction, I can stretch both of the bottom drawers, but not the tops drawer. All it does when I put the stretch plane in the middle of the top drawer is to stretch only the outside of the cabinet... any idea why it's doing that?
Yes! That's the idea exactly. I am trying to design a scaling tool for cabinets to help with a 3D scanning application I am working on. What I want it to do is be able to grab a cabinet style from a catalog and then place it in my CAD kitchen.
Once positioned I'd like to be able to use the 'scale' tool to grab the handle normal to the face and be able to stretch the cabinet to connect with other cabinets. The key of the whole idea being that I have to be able to preserve the necessary variables and offsets in order for the cabinet to still look like a cabinet.
Any thoughts or insights you have into this kind of geometric control would be greatly appreciated! I'll keep messing around with the dynamic component attribute formulas you showed me.
Hey Jeff,
That definitely looks like the start of what I need but unfortunately I couldn't test your file as I am running Sketchup 7.
Hello,
I am looking for some method or plugin that will allow me to 'stick' two component faces together so that while using the scale tool, the 2 faces remain connected during the scaling.
As I understand it this would have to do with defining spatial relationships between the components?
Picture 2 cubes side by side, selected together and scaled together. Is there some way that I can preserve the gap dimensions as I scale both cubes?
Thanks,
Mtiz
Hi TIG,
Thanks for the tip, that definitely looks like the application I am looking for.
However, I am having a bit of trouble getting the last step completed. If you see the attached file, I can get the C-Drape on the mold, but I can't figure out how you got the profile to mesh with the points...?

Hi SketchUcation community,
I am looking for an application which will allow me to wrap the 2D shape to the 3D shape featured here. It would be great if I could choose where I positioned the profile on the mould before it was shaped.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?
Cheers,
Mark
