Scaling in two dimensions only


Buk5

I'm trying to do this by following these instructions:

  1. enter Pull mode
  2. select the body
  3. click Scale body
  4. click the scale point
  5. Alt-click one axis
  6. Ctrl-alt-click the second axis
  7. Enter scale factor

Problems:

  • DSM5 completely ignores the origin handles selected and scales in 3 dimensions.
  • since when has 10mm x 1.1 been 12.2mm?
  • ditto: 2.0mm x 1.1 <> 4.2!

I've done this successfully using DSM2; and I'm sure I saw a gif on the Zen site where someone did this using DSM4 but I cannot now find it.
