Scaling model along normals Nov. 1, 2012, 11:15 a.m.

Thx for your quick response,
That peak node is indeed what i needed, but it scaled the sides, top, bottom indepedently.
I used a clean node to get it back to one single mesh, but thats giving a weird pattern on the sides a bit like a saw.

Scaling model along normals Oct. 31, 2012, 4:08 p.m.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and to Houdini, and I'm really enjoying Houdini apprentice.
But i'm stuck with a problem, i'm trying to boolean (cookie) a model and boolean this with a scaled down version of the same model. But i would like to have the borders to be of equal thikness, shown in the link. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1GsKd3hn2Ym_zX69B1ry2azyLN4fqp7pebSxlfrRgYiM/edit [docs.google.com]

I believe I should scale the entire model along the normals, thats what i would do in blender.

second question, as you can see in the image the model has some bad topology, is there a node to change the triangles to an ngon?

Thanks in advance!
