Usage

  • Picking a point on an empty area of the 3d view, or on an existing object for the base point, then another point for the scale factor
  • The x, y and z components of the second point define the scale factor. For example, (1,1,1) would do nothing, (2,2,2) would scale 2x in all directions, (-1,1,1) would mirror in x direction.
  • Pressing CTRL will snap your point to availible snap locations.
  • Pressing SHIFT will lock x and y values together, so the shape is not deformed
  • Pressing ESC will cancel the operation.
  • Enter numbers to manually insert a coordinate.
  • C switches the copy mode on/off. With Copy on, objects will be copied instead of moved.
  • Pressing ALT will make a copy, even if the Copy check button is off.
  • If ALT is pressed, you will be able to make multiple copies until the ALT is released.
