Resize

Make faces, rings, or corners bigger or smaller.

Resize makes the selection bigger or smaller. Pick sets the kind it works on (Faces, Rings, or Corners), and the buttons on the Steps card change their labels to match. Resize is under Size on the Adjust tab.

The Steps card for Resize on a ring: Thinner and Wider. Faces read Smaller and Bigger; corners read Closer and Farther.

Small, Medium, or Big on the Steps card sets the change per tap. The resized selection snaps to the fine grid (an eighth of a block). When Mirror is on, the matching side resizes too.

Faces: Bigger and Smaller

Bigger grows the faces from their own centers. Smaller shrinks them. Corners shared by selected faces side by side move to the exact middle of the spots each face would move them to, so no gaps open. When the faces have shrunk to a point, a message (Too small to squeeze further.) shows and they cannot shrink more.

Rings: Wider and Thinner

Wider makes the selected rings wider. Thinner makes them thinner. For a single ring, Sides sets the sides that change:

  • All sides (default): The ring grows or shrinks evenly from its center.
  • This side: The ring grows or shrinks toward the side you tapped while the opposite edge stays put, making a taper. A highlight shows the side that changes.

Several selected rings all resize by the same amount.

Spacing

When the selection has several rings or separate face groups, Scale shows Each and Spacing. Each resizes each group from its own center, keeping the groups in place. Spacing changes the space between groups without resizing them (e.g., the gap between two eyes), and the buttons change to Closer and Farther.

Corners: Farther and Closer

Select several corners. Farther moves them out from their shared center (their average position). Closer moves them in. Farther on the four corners of a flat face makes the face bigger. Closer on two opposite corners pinches the four-sided face. Corners you did not select stay put.

Limits

Resize cannot make a part pass through itself. Thinner or Closer taps that would turn a surface inside out, or that hit the smallest grid size, are blocked and show a message. Resizing past the edge of the workspace stops at the edge (corners and Spacing are blocked). Blocked taps are not counted on the Steps card.
