Scale Output

[Matthias S]

Hi all, 

 

I wrote a script, which get a Text input and makes a 3D Text out of it. It's similar to the 3D Text along path command.

 

The output are a group of Extrusions of Polygons. When I scale this group via the menu command I get the result I wish to have. Maybe get it half the size.

 

When I put the scale command inside the Script, the output is not the expected but it looks that the Y-scale of the group stays the same as before, only the extrusions are sacled.

 

 

I tried to ungroup the text before I scale with no change of the result. I had the idea, to merge the extrusions to one volume, but cannot find a marionette node which is doing this. 

 

Any ideas from your side? I added the script, maybe someone of you have an inspiration 🙂

Try and make a Group of the extruded polygons and then do the scale on the group.

 

It looks like you script is scaling each object individually instead of as a single block.  The Group should help with that.

That was to easy 😉

Thanks a lot, it works 😁
