-Shapes can be scaled by any factor. Shapes are enlarged (increases) or shrunk (diminishes) by a scale factor. The result of scaling is a similar shape (in the geometric sense) to the original.+Shapes can be scaled by any factor, enlarging (increasing) or shrinking (diminishing) shapes by the ''factors'' about X, Y, and Z axis. The result of scaling is a similar shape (in the geometric sense) to the original.
