same size polys 2004-03-23 - By Helge Mathee
Back
Well - this will result in a recursive problem.
When you scale a polygon, all surrounding ones will be scaled as well.
That's why this problem is really not that trivial.
That's the same for moving a point. This will change the size of one
polygon in a correct way, but the others connected to that points may
be influenced in a wrong way.
So imo the only way to solve that is a complete analysis of the mesh,
and projecting it completely new and fresh. *yumm*
