Objects don't seem to uniform scale Max2017

[Anonymous]

Set my system units setup to 1inch=1unit, set display units to decimal inches.

Used select and uniform scale to reduce my object to 4.55% which does indeed shrink the object on the screen but when I check the object properties it remains the un-scaled size.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob, this is normal and you should always scale your objects at sub-object level if you don't want problems deforming and animating your scene.

When you select an object with the scale tool, you should always get 100,100,100 in xyz. If this is not the case, you can use Reset X-form tool on your object. But of course, depending the type of project you have, sometimes this is not so important. But i think this is a very good practices.

If you try scaling at sub-object level,  and check your properties, you should see the difference.
