The Mesh Edit PropertyManager lets you manipulate the mesh geometry as follows:
This functionality is useful for plastic parts that contain surfaces directly related to manufacturing operations. For example, to apply scaling for shrinkage in an injection mold operation.
Manipulation Method
| Move/Copy Mesh |
| Scale/Offset Mesh |
Meshes to Move/Copy or Scale/Offset
 |
Select meshes or sub-meshes |
|
| |
Copy |
Copies the selected meshes. In Number of copies  , set a value.
|
Translate
 |
Select one direction to translate |
|
 ,  ,  |
|
Repositions the mesh by the values you set.
|
Rotate
|
Select one axis to rotate |
|
 ,  ,  |
Coordinate of centroid |
Repositions the mesh centroid to the values you set.
|
 ,  ,  |
Rotation angle |
Rotates the meshes to the values you set.
|
Scale
| Scale about |
Select Centroid, Origin, or Coordinate System.
|
| Uniform Scaling |
When selected, the mesh scales uniformly in all directions by the value you set in Scale coefficient. When cleared, you set independent scale coefficients in the X, Y, and Z directions.
|
Offset
Set a value in Distance to offset. Select Reverse the offset direction 
if necessary.
