Hi JD, If you make a sphere with command shape sphere radius 5 you can change its radius using the surface operation sop command to rescale it sop transform #0 radius 12 or sop transform #0 scale 0.5 In general the objects created with the shape command cannot have their parameters changed after they are made. For instance you can’t change the height of a cylinder. But you can simply close the old cylinder and make a new one with the two commands on one line and it will achieve the same effect visually.

Dear all,

I would like to animate a sphere that grows. But I could alter the dimension of an object created with the shape command?

thank you JD
