There seems to be no mention of Gmsh being aware of `physical units' such as meter or inches. For example, <br>setting`mm' units in the CAD software, exporting as STL and loading into Gmsh (with `merge') gives a model in `mm' units. Presumably the same would happen with any other units you set in the CAD software.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mike.<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 7/21/09, Sebastian Mathiowetz <i><sebastian.mathiowetz@googlemail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Sebastian Mathiowetz <sebastian.mathiowetz@googlemail..com><br>Subject: [Gmsh] Default scale format, change scale<br>To: gmsh@geuz.org<br>Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 8:47 PM<br><br><div
id="yiv455651982">Hi there, <br><br>I´ve got a very simple question: in the manual it says that default scaling is 1. <br>So when I define a straight line from points 0, 0, 0 and 0, 1, 0, is it´s size then 1 meter or 1 millimeter or what is the unit scale? I can´t find anything in the documentation, but I guess its SI units, so it must be 1 m, is that right?eqe<br>
When I click on the button 1:1 (Set unit scale, or sync scale) at the bottom of the GUI window, there just happens nothing...How can I change scale then?<br>Thanks very much for any answers!<br><br>Bye, Sebastian<br><br clear="all">
