<div>
This would work if M is bigger than V (ratio &lt;&nbsp;1)<br />
<br />
How about if M is smaller than V? (ratio &gt;&nbsp;1)<br />
<br />
How about if M is smaller than V AND one side of M is smaller than V but the other side of M is bigger than V?<br />
<br />
What do we do?<br />
<br />
THANKS!

Hello,<br />
Lets say I have a cuboid V with any dimension (width, height, depth)<br />
and I have another cuboid M again with any dimension &nbsp;(width, height, depth)<br />
<br />
I have to scale down or up cuboid M to fit inside cuboid V<br />
<br />
Right now I am finding the largest dimension of cuboid M and scaling it to fit the smallest dimension of cuboid V<br />
<br />
VSize = [v.width, v.height, v.depth];<br />
MSize &nbsp; = [m.width, m.height, m.depth];<br />
<br />
largestMSize = calculateLargestSize(MSize<wbr />)<br />
smallestVSize = calculateSmallestSize(VSiz<wbr />e);<br />
<br />
scaleRatio = smallestVSize/largestMSize<wbr /><br />
<br />
I think this will guarantee cuboid M will fit inside cuboid V - BUT this is too extreme<br />
<br />
Do you know of a way to calculate the correct scale for cuboid M to fit inside cuboid V?

Hello,
Lets say I have a cuboid V with any dimension (width, height, depth)
and I have another cuboid M again with any dimension  (width, height, depth)

I have to scale down or up cuboid M to fit inside cuboid V

Right now I am finding the largest dimension of cuboid M and scaling it to fit the smallest dimension of cuboid V

VSize = [v.width, v.height, v.depth];
MSize   = [m.width, m.height, m.depth];

largestMSize = calculateLargestSize(MSize)
smallestVSize = calculateSmallestSize(VSize);

scaleRatio = smallestVSize/largestMSize

I think this will guarantee cuboid M will fit inside cuboid V - BUT this is too extreme

Do you know of a way to calculate the correct scale for cuboid M to fit inside cuboid V?

Uniformly scaled a cuboid to fit inside another cuboid
