untold drift
Hello,
When I try to scale my entire model, the model loses its arrangement. Some pieces stay together, but others are thrown completely out of form, essentially breaking the model.
Is there a way I can lock everything together so that the scale slider doesn't break the model?

Hey, there should be a button of two liunes with dots and when pressed you could tap the lock icons you want to lock
looks like this

@rigid tree I see this option, but when I lock everything, the scale tool does not work
untold drift
this is what the model should look like
this is what happens when I scale it @rigid tree
do you know the fix to this by chance? or was the lock solution the only way you knew how to do it
untold drift
its okay thank you for trying to help me

np
wheat mulch
the lock one makes it so that the element won't be edited at all, not that they stay the same relative to other elements.
@untold drift are you using Transform > Scale?
untold drift
@wheat mulch yes I'm using that option
certain parts are scaling fine, others not
is it possibly due to pivot points?
wheat mulch
I think so, yeah
when you use Transform > Scale, where does it say that the pivot is?
untold drift
@wheat mulch they move out of place
they are in place at current scale, but move when I scale
wheat mulch
I'm talking about the pivot coordinates in that "Scale" window that pops up
wheat mulch
set that to 0 0 0, then try scaling
untold drift
Wow!
Thank you so much!
You saved me a ton of trouble
What does that setting actually do?
wheat mulch
determine the point everything gets scaled from
0 0 0 would mean it would scale from the center of that grid (in this format)

Awesome :) Thank you dragon - I hope this thread helps someone who has this problem sometime too
