The same question
Hi Todd!
Welcome! In FastCAM 7, the best way to resize a part is by using blocking. Set your Block, and then use the EXPAND Function. Expand works to make an item larger (if you give it a factor greater than 1) Or Smaller (with a factor smaller than 1).

Also here is the FastCAM information Starter Pack, which hopefully has a lot of useful information for you:
