Gem Reduce by Percentage
Gem Reduce by Percentage
The Gem Reduce by Percentage command shrinks selected unlisted gemstones by a percentage, keeping their cut proportions.
Select the gems to reduce. Two options are available on the command line while selecting:
- Percentage: How much to shrink the gems, from 0 to 100%.
- Step: The increment the resulting diameter (X/Y) is snapped to, so sizes land on round numbers instead of odd decimals.
The depth (Z) is scaled by the same reduction factor as the diameter, so the stone keeps its original proportions. Each gem is rebuilt from scratch at the new size, in the same position, layer, name and group as the original, with the gemstone material re-applied; the old gem is then deleted. When the command finishes, it lists the previous and new size of every gem that was reduced on the command line.
Only unlisted gemstones are affected — other gem types in the selection are skipped and counted separately.
