    Scale in Z axis

    Need Help.

    I have V27 and Bobart. I imported a .stl file but now need to scale in the z axis only.
    Is there anyway to do this?

    BobCad wont scale 1D an STL, but you can do it with BobArt.

    You want to open a new doc and in BobArt, choose "emboss from component", then choose your STL file. That feature will allow you to scale the component in 1D. (Just untick the keep proportions option)
