Title: Local Scale Selection broken?
Post by: ghib on January 17, 2017, 12:51:12 pm
Hello, I just noticed that my Subobject Tools >> Local Scale Selection# function is not working as expected.

Instead of scaling subobject selection shells locally in ALL axes it is scaling in only 2. In this case X & Y

Also there is a strange message about Spline_Open YZ which appears while the hotkey is held down.

Could some kind soul please verify that this is also happening for them please?

While tool active: Tap the "space key" to change scale direction.

While tool active: Tap "Caps lock" to change how scale calculation is made.

Have a look in "Help > Modeling > Streamline Tools > Local Transform" for more info.

Interesting,  Voidworld depth increases exponentially every day :D

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


p.s. this is not a complaint, I wouldn't have it any other way.

It was a change made back in update "May 11 2014" (http://samardac.com/nvil-forum/index.php/topic,2355.0.html)

thanks, Maybe I have just never accidentally hit Space or Caps while using the Scale Local tool.

Perhaps my statement should've read, 'Interesting,  My knowledge of Voidworld increases exponentially every day'
