# Expand

The Expand Deformer expands your geometry either by scaling it from the Expand's centre along 1, 2 or 3 dimensions, or by using the direction of your geometry's normals.

Expand is a bonus plugin, included for free only for users who have purchased the Mega Deformer Pack, so you won't be able to access it in demo mode.

A capsule modified using the Expand Deformer (set to 50%). From left to right:
- the original, undeformed capsule
- 'Expand from' set to 'Point', scales in 3 dimensions from the centre of the Expand Deformer
- 'Expand from' set to 'Line', scales in 2 dimensions
- 'Expand from' set to 'Plane', scales in 1 dimension
- 'Expand from' set to 'Normal', in this mode points are moved along their normals, it's most fun when combined with Expand's falloff tab

## Options

1. Strength - how much to expand the object
2. Expand from - select the mode to alter the effect of the deformer. Select 'Point', 'Line' or 'Plane' to scale the object from the centre of the deformer in 3, 2 or 1 dimensions. Select 'Normal' to expand your object's points along their normals.
