How to resize a component?

Hi,

 

I'm a professional woodworker and after years using keycreator, i recently switched to fusion 360 for my designs.

 

I'm drawing a kitchen, but i've run is some trouble.

 

every cabinet is build as a diffrent component, and every component holds diffrent body's as follows:

 

componenet --cabinet 1--

     body's -- side 1 / side 2 / top / bottom / back--

 

componenet --cabinet 2--

     body's -- side 1 / side 2 / top / bottom / back--

 

and so on...

 

cabinet 1  and 2 are 600mm wide, but i cabinet 3 is only 460mm wide. i've modeled cabinet 1 from scatch and copyed it twice (cabinet 2 and 3), so now i have 3 cabinets of 600mm wide. what's the easyest way of resizing the 3rd cabinet to 460mm wide. is this possible to do without starting from scartch for that 3rd cabinet?

 

maybe a beginner question, but i'm trying to learn.

 

thanks in advance

 

Tom

This thread (even from the same design area...) might help.  Short answer is:  There is no great answer today, but we are working on it.  fusion-360-design-validate/copying-parametric-parts-cabinets-question

Hi , 

as component you can resize "scale " uniform scale 
but as a body you can select multiple bodies and scale them as "non uniform "

Assuming all the parameters work and adjust as required, 

component Copy, then Paste New for the cabinet you want to change.

Edit the smaller cabinet, and change the 600 dimension to 460.

 

All things equal, you are done.

 

Might help....
