ArcGIS Pro 3.4 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / Coordinate3D Structure / Scale Method
The factor by which to scale.
Example Version

Scale Method (Coordinate3D)
Scales the Coordinate3D by the given factor.
Syntax
public void Scale( 
   double scaleFactor
)

Parameters

scaleFactor
The factor by which to scale.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
scaleFactor is NaN.
Remarks
Each component of the Coordinate3D is multiplied by scaleFactor. If the scale factor is positive, the direction is not changed. If the scale factor is negative, the direction is opposite the original direction. The Magnitude of the scaled Coordinate3D = original magnitude * Abs(scaleFactor).

Scale

Example
Vector Operations
// Easy 3D vectors
Coordinate3D v = new Coordinate3D(0, 1, 0);
// v.Magnitude = 1

Coordinate3D other = new Coordinate3D(-1, 0, 0);
// other.Magnitude = -1

double dotProduct = v.DotProduct(other);      // dotProduct = 0

Coordinate3D crossProduct = v.CrossProduct(other);
// crossProduct.X = 0
// crossProduct.Y = 0
// crossProduct.Z = 1

Coordinate3D addVector = v.AddCoordinate3D(other);
// addVector.X = -1
// addVector.Y = 1
// addVector.Z = 0

// Rotate around x-axis
Coordinate3D w = v;
w.Rotate(Math.PI, other);
// w.X = 0
// w.Y = -1
// w.Z = 0

w.Scale(0.5);
// w.X = 0
// w.Y = -0.5
// w.Z = 0

w.Scale(-4);
// w.X = 0
// ww.Y = 2
// w.Z = 0
// w.Magnitude = 2

w.Move(3, 2, 0);
// w.X = 3
// w.Y = 4
// w.Z = 0
// w.Magnitude = 5


Coordinate3D emptyVector = new Coordinate3D();
// emptyVector = (0, 0, 0)
emptyVector.SetEmpty();
// emptyVector = (Nan, Nan, Nan)

Coordinate3D c1 = new Coordinate3D(2, 3, 4);
Coordinate3D c2 = new Coordinate3D(9, -1, 3);

var result_add = c1 + c2;
// result_add = (11, 2, 7)
var result_sub = c1 - c2;
// result_sub = (-7, 4, 1)

var b = result_sub != result_add;
// b = true

result_add = emptyVector + c1;
// result_add = (Nan, Nan, Nan)

b = result_add == emptyVector;
// b = true
