Sbaugh, I didn't take it as you calling me dumb as I did you you calling the approach dumb.
Anyway no hard fellings.
Thanks everyone. Sorry if I got frustrated. This has been a bad day to begin with and it isn't getting any better.

OK.
Forget why I would like to do this. I just wanted to know if you could or could not scale an entire model.
I got the answer. There is no command to do this.
I am fine with that, I just wanted to see if maybe there was an easier way to do something. I was able to do this in ProE and was...
Sorry for all the debate, didn't think this was a big issue.
There are reasons why I would like to scale the model and the dimensions all in one step. I guess I didn't explain it very well. Anyway, the reason behind it shouldn't have anything to do with being able to do it or not.
SBaugh...
I need to keep all the features. I can't IGES or STL.
It is way too much work to go and change all the dimensions.
The reason I am looking to do this, is because some times we do design's that have a lot of features and I need to scale it up or down because I need the same thing in several...
Is it possible to take a model and scale it up or down? I don't mean to use the mold tools scaling. That command scales the part, but doesn't scale the dimensions.
I just want to be able to take a model and be able to scale it up or down. Example would be to double the size of a model...
ctopher,
Yes it does and yes I am. I figured that once I got the base done I could figure out and implement the pyramids.
I will eventually have a replica.

Yippiddy diggidy dog. I do beleive I've got it. I have figured it out. I have one minor flaw that needs to be fixed, but the principal and design is done. I know of a couple other ways to do the same thing, but in principle it is done. Now I will spend my time refining and simplifing.
If...
Ok. I beleive I finally figured out at least one way to do this. I say that because once you figure out how to do something, the alternate solutions and simplifications usually come easy.
However, I have one piece of information I need to find so I can finish and post the results.
I hope...
Ever since I started using SW, I have had problems getting the dimensions I want to have on a drawing.
The problem I am having, is that a few dimensions that I would like to have on the drawing need to be created in the drawing by picking edges. However, most of the time SW won't allow me to...
Ok I have a question. I am getting close to figuring this out, but I am making an assumtion that may or may not be correct.
On a geosphere or any other geometric sphere, would all of the nodes lie on the suface of the sphere and be equal distant form the center ( equal to the radius of the...
Creigbm,
Nope it is never too late to get involved. Just go to the site and Register for a login. It is free. Then just log in in and join the Forum discussions. We are in the early phase of getting started. Read all the posts to get up to speed a little and join in.
We would be glad to...

I found this site that has a dodecahedron and an icosahedron.
I am trying to make these work.

After all the suggestions, I have still not been able come even close to any of this. Maybe SW can add a geosphere feature to a next generation release.
I thought SW was good.
