Shrink Fatten

Reference

Mode:

Edit Mode

Tool:

Toolbar ‣ Shrink/Fatten

Menu:

Mesh ‣ Transform ‣ Shrink Fatten

Shortcut:

Alt-S

This tool moved selected vertices/edges/faces along their own normal (perpendicular to the face), which, on “standard normal meshes”, will shrink/fatten them.

This transform tool does not take into account the pivot point or transform orientation.

Offset Even S, Alt

Scale the offset to give it a more even thickness. A greater offset factor is obtained vertices, which share faces, forming a more acute angle.

Mesh before shrink/fatten.

Inflated using a positive value.

Shrunk using a negative value.
