Method: RADMesh::STL#scale!

Defined in:
lib/radmesh/stl.rb

#scale!(factor) ⇒ STL

Note:

There is also the same method without ! working as expected. It is not in this reference guide, because it is automatically generated.

Scale the mesh by the given factor.

This multiplies all of the coordinates by the specified number. This method could be used to change the “units” (there are no units explicitly specified in an STL file) of the mesh. For example, to change a part from inches to millimeters, just use factor 25.4.

Parameters:

  • factor (Float) —

    scale factor

Returns:

  • (STL) —

    returns itself
