For a bunch of solids unioned & parameterised together, scaling them scales them in place and draws them apart. Is there a way that they scale but stay together?
Best,
GS
You may need to use the Origin box of the Scale transform. But it may mean that you will need a different Origin value for each solid, depending on how/where you created these solids.
Thank you, Sir.
The scaling, as you show it using the scale box. I found does keep the unioned group intact.
My concern was that changing the parameter that parameterises all the solids in the union results in them scaling but drawing apart.
Any advice to achieve this would be useful.
Regards,
Please attach a simple example showing (1) the current problem and (2) the desired result.
Thank you for the prompt response. Sir.
I have attempted to show the problem in a short video:

Here is a simpler view of current problem and desired result:
Situation: Two solids are unioned and parameterised with the same variable.
Current Problem:
RESULT: Unioned solids scale but draw apart
Desired Result
RESULT: Unioned solids scale but stay together
When you create the solids, use the workplane tab to set their individual locations. For example create a cuboid with the Workplane:
And for the sphere for example:
You can use variables inside the workplane definitions to make it parametric and when you scale each solid CADFEKO will remember the workplane settings parameters:
You can of course use script recording and playback to automate everything.
