Hello ZBC!
When using the Gizmo scale the muti subtools, Hold the Shift and scale ,the snap value is 0.05. The question is how to control the vaule to the precies value ?Or how to change the snap value to the small number,such as 0.01。
Thank you 。

hello @IButton !

hmm if you scale down to 0.1 and again scale down to 0.1 it should be 0.01, no ?
10 you divide by 0.1 = 1
and 1 you divide by 0.1 equals 0.01 :smiley:

Hope it helps!

haha, I isnt mean to scale the subtool to 0.01 . I mean the Gizmo scale snap increse number . The default number is 0.05 when you holddown Shift Key. So .the Scale 1.05 ,1.1 ,1.15 .Just like that. But if you dont hold shift key ,The scale num are outoff control .Itis not easy to scale the number what you want .Such as scale 1.1234 .
The zplugin Misc utilities menu has a GIzmo snap angle setting funciton .But Cant find the increst number setting .
Thank you for you Quick reply !

Yes to get a better control over that, I do prefer to do some math with the size slider in the deformation section or you even use the transpose line for that.

I recommend you to submit for a feature request to add a similar slider for Scaling in Misc utilities.

@IButton Try the QuickScaler plugin on Pixologic Resource Center Plugins. You can increase/decrease size by percentage or absolute value (mm/in) according to a slider value. You can enter fractional values too. I just tried increase by 1.1234% … worked!

Try it with Transpose Master | T-Pose Mesh all the tools you want to scale, then QuickScaler followed by Transpose Master | TPose-SubT. Tranpose Master will capture the scaling of all tools that have been combined and update the original subtools accordingly.
