How to Make All Objects Bigger

Anonymous — Sat, 13 Apr 2019 18:07:05 GMT

Hi,

I want to make my objects bigger. When I highlight all the objects and use the scale tool to make it bigger, it doesn't enlarge the little objects with the big objects. What tool scales up every object?

Thank you!

Hi!

Please add a scene-file and a screenshot, cause this should work.

Try to group all objects in the scene if possible, and then scale the group.

It's weird, the small objects that are lying on top of the big objects
disappear in the big objects when I enlarge everything. Is there some sort
of "lock layers" option so everything can scale together?

Freeze transforms on all, group + scale.

Hi!

If you want to scale the objects only (, but keep them at the current place), then you need to select and scale every single object.

If you want to scale the scene, so everything scales and keeps the relative proportions and distances, you need to select everything, create a group for this selection, and then select and scale the group transform node only.
