Change drainage profile scale

MicroStation, or something like OpenRoads Designer?

If this is just MicroStation elements, you can scale things unequally in the X & Y directions - just click to unlock them in the tool settings dialog.
If this was generated by some kind of design software, you will need to work within that package.

Hello,

Ok, this was created using Microstation elements. So are you saying I just need to go to scale and change the x y to x=10 y=5 what about fencing the element.

Sorry I am still kind of new to this.

Please provide me the steps.

I have trouble thinking in ratios, so you may have to figure out the math yourself, but I can describe the basic steps to unequally scale something.

If I have a block that I drew at 2' x 2', I can select that block (with either the Element Selection tool or by placing a fence) and choose the Scale Element tool. Normally, the X and Y scale factors are locked together, but there is a little lock icon next to them that I can click and I will see it "unlock". Now I can set my X factor by 2 and my Y factor by 3 and scale my block. The end result is a block shape that is 4' x 6'.

I don't know exactly how that relates to the profile you have drawn because I don't know how you've drawn it, but you can see what happens if you scale it by X = 2.5 and Y = 0.4. I got those factors by dividing the "desired value" by the "original value" (5/2 = 2.5 and 10/25 = 0.4)

dont forget to select the text and do the inverse to return it to h=w

Hi Mary,

Thanks
