Change scale value without actually changing size

Anonymous

So I created box and changed the scale. I would like to keep those values even after modifying the object. So for instance when I do boolean operation the scale of box turns back to 1 at all dimensions. So is there a way how to change the value back to the original but without actually affecting the scale.

Hi @Anonymous

 

If you go to Modify->Freeze Transformations that will keep your object at the scale its at but set all the values to one which should do what you're looking for.

 

Please let me know if this works or if you need any more assistance!

Hi!

Using Boolean creates a complete new object based on 2 or more input objects, so there is nothing to keep.

You can only try to re-create those values.
