Designate the multiplier, how much you are going to multiply on the apex coordinate of each triangle. Generally, default value of 1 is applied but when you want to change the unit from m to mm, you can set this to 1000. To convert in the opposite direction, set as 0.001.

 

Shift is the shift value to apply on the apex coordinate of each triangle. First the location information of the model properties is shown here as default. (Note that the multiplier is first applied and then the shift is applied.)

 

Click OK to save the information.
