Stepping- Scale Factor

Hello,

The scale Factor stepping is only allowing integer number entries, is that by design?

I was trying to find a method of accurately scaling an object (for simple example) to half its length, is there a method?, as other forms of snapping appear not to work on scale?

You can key in floating numbers. But it must be not smaller than 1. If you want a scale value like 0.3, you need to key in the value of 1f/0.3f. It is not convenient, I will improve that.

You can also key in scale values in the 'Manipulation' Absolute/Offset input fields while the scale manipulator is being presented.

Hi IStonia,

Excellent.
(I should of checked the offsets)
No need to change anything, those options work great.

Also, if you key in negative values, you can have mirror results.

Yes, that is working great.

Many thanks,

Best Regards,

Thank you! Glad I read this. 

There have been some changes, as you can now enter a "Scale Factor" as a decimal.

This (scale/size change) is still something I do not like.
It may be a case that other programmes I have not seen/used all base around a scale value that sometimes changes and sometimes does not, with no real-time feedback on non-uniform size changes, and NVIL is based on those?

I was going to make another post about this, but I do not change the size of objects often, so it does not annoy me too much.
