Smooth one-axis scaling?

m_baadsgaard — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 09:18:45 GMT

Hey guys. Alright so this thing is bugging the hell out of me. Whenever i scale something uniformly, it's nice and smooth. But when I scale something non-uniformly it does it in tiny steps, like I have Step Snap turned on at some low value. Axis Orientation or whether it is a big or small object or components of any type, it's the same. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have any idea how to fix this? It really inhibits my workflow 😞 Thanks!

Try to scale move/scale manipulator with "+" and "-" on num. keyboard, larger size manipulator will be more smooth.

awesome! thank you!

however, it gets hard to reach the square on the manipulator for scaling along 2 axis

you can use middle button mouse scaling, in any place on the axis
