Hi! I am learning free cad by doing a bbq grill. Its my first time posting here!
I am trying to draw a pattern of pockets but which the height is variable.
Here is the current state I am doing a linear pattern however I don't want to have the height to be always the same. I tried multi transform, however I couldn't find a way to only scale the height.
I draw a simple sketch in the opens cad and it is quite simple, I just need to use the Pythagoras' theorem. Here is the render
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance!

Re: Scaled Pattern
Hi and welcome to the forum!
You could do it in Python, of course. With the GUI I would cut all to the border and then add an outer ring back. Before doing this, you should remove the small lines Edge5 to Edge8 in Sketch002. Such things can make the pocket fail.
The outer ring still shows remainders of the pockets, although I have refined the model. You can avoid this, if you make the first circle a little bit smaller.

That make sense, I will try using the GUI.
Once again, thanks!
