Scaling or other techniques

3D Design

Hello.
I found on Grabcad a machine that I liked to put in an assembly.
(silo modeling)
on the other hand I see that he is " very small ",

and I can't seem to "scale" it

If you have a solution, I'd like to know it.

Good evening to all

Hello @ltison_1 ,

It is the assembly of a model Caterpillar loader (it is written on it).
No solution for scaling the assembly.
On the other hand, it is possible to:

  • Save the model as a part: Save as > Solidworks Part(*.prt, *.sldprt),
  • then to apply a scale factor to all the volume bodies of the part (Insertion > Functions > Scale, etc.).

Disadvantage: no more assembly to perform a possible animation/motion simulation.

Another possibility: open the parts of the assembly one by one, and apply the scale factor to each one. It takes longer, but the assembly is preserved.
