Can we drag normal direction elements?

@LKZ To try this method: project (by duplicating) boundary nodes to new circle with option 'line normal'. And then create new mesh with method 'ruled' by defining two list of nodes.
Share your HM model?
@Q.Nguyen-Dai Thanks to your reply.
Here is the model and I want to grow the normal direction of elements.

@Q.Nguyen-Dai Really thanks for your help.
Because I used the HyperMesh 2017.2, I think at the last step my interface is different from you.
My last step is like this. I think it will be helpful for other person.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
And at the last I can finish my model. Really thanks!
I think it's have some problem about although it can drag the normal element.
We just can drag one layer element at once, I think it will spend every user many times.
When I use the scale, I find a problem about if I want to scale for the distance.
Can we do that? Because when I set the scale factor, I can't catch the value correctly.
And it can't grow the size what I want.
Do you have this solution? Really thanks.
@Q.Nguyen-Dai Thanks for your help.
I have a last question.
If I have many layers about the model, and I want to separate them.
But when I use Tool→Organize→element by faces it can't let me pick one layer of elements.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
How can I quickly pick every layer of them and where is my wrong?
Really thanks.
Hi, solid elems cannot be selected 'by face'
with first layer, try 'find attach' (shift F5): select nodes 'by face', then find elems attached to those nodes.
once you moved a layer to new comp, you can select it 'by collector' and select next layer 'by adjacent', then subtract 1st layer from selection also 'by collector'
Hi LKZ,
It is not possible to drag elements in the normal direction. Instead, you can use Scale option in the Tool panel.
Thank you
