Scale Z Values: GT_SCALE_Z – GeoTools Command

Summary

The GT_SCALE_Z command in GeoTools updates 2D polylines, 3D polylines, and 3D faces by scaling the Z-values of each vertex using a specified factor in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.

Scale Z Values: GT_SCALE_Z – GeoTools Command

Key Features Include:

  • Applies Z-Scaling to Multiple Object Types:
    • Works on 2D polylines, 3D polylines, and 3D faces.
    • Supports Z scaling for POINTs, BLOCKs, and SHAPEs.
  • Customizable Z Conversion Factor:
    • Users can increase or decrease elevation values by specifying a scale factor.
    • A factor greater than 1 increases Z-values, while a factor less than 1 reduces them.
  • Preserves Geometry Integrity:
    • Ensures that only the Z-values are modified while retaining XY coordinates.

Benefits:

This tool is essential for terrain modeling, elevation adjustments, and CAD-based 3D transformations, providing precise control over vertical scaling in drawings.
