Maybe it’s just me…
When you use “E” to scale a Ziff, which direction are you supposed to move the mouse to make it bigger or smaller?
Sometimes I move it in a direction and it scales to like zero immediately, sometimes it makes it bigger, sometimes it makes it smaller. Ditto for up and down. It’s like there’s no uniformity to the scaling (eg up bigger, down smaller).
???
Dragging to the right scales it larger and to the left scales it smaller. This is very consistent for me. I had what you’re describing with previous versions, but have had no difficulties with version 1.55b.
Weird…
I think it used to be worse in 1.23, but it still is a little odd. Seems to work as you describe about 80% of the time.
Thanks for the info.
Note: Before you decrease,…increase.
Thats right, before you drag to decrease the object(which can scale radicaly…especially ZSphere resizing)enlarge it first then go back down to your preferred size change. I dont know how else to discribe this better. I just know that by enlarging first, then sizing it back down, the effect is softened. Remember, you never let go of the mouse button until you have desceased it to where you want it.
So,
Click mouse button down, enlarge object, decrease object, release mouse. Try that. sigh Hope that explains it.
Also, there is no proper up, down, left right, combination. There is toward and away from gyro/object axis. Toward the object shrinks, away makes it bigger. I choose to move the mouse diagonally because that way I have a wider range then up or down. I also, do this because you will notice that when using the gyro, up and down makes fast changes and side to side would make it skip about. But this is all relevent to object axis.
EDIT
Okay, were words fail me, zscripts prevail!
If you have ZB1.55b, then this will show you what I mean.
Perhaps it should also be mentioned that the term “Spastic” or “Spaztic” in the context of this thread can (at least in some parts of the world) be considered as an inappropriate and mildly offensive usage.
where?!
I was about to agree with Antimorph’s comment, until I re-read the initial post. Spastic is an adjective deriving from the noun spasm and refers to spontaneous and pathological muscular contractions resulting in inappropriate and uncontrolled movements. As such, I would have to concede it is a legitimate, if slightly unfortunate, use of the term as referenced here. Unfortunately, at least in the UK, the term came into slang use as an abusive term for someone suffering from such a condition, and by transference and misapprehension to someone disliked or thought inferior or stupid. Such use is to be deprecated as politically incorrect as it needlessly and unfairly disprespects a disadvantaged minority. It is in this sense that Antimorph interpreted the usage here.
Antimorph - you have a fair point to make. However I’m sure that Monkeyfarm meant no insult. Perhaps in future you may address these kinds of concerns as a private message. It’s of far more tact and keeps all goodwill flowing.
(The irony is… I would have sent this as a private message but I see you havn’t configured your prefs.)
Folks… Lighten up… I didn’t mean anything buy it. you’re reading WAAAAAYYYYY to much into it.
No WAAAAAYYYYY. 
MonkeyFarm-you better watch it-
I have a gub. 
:rolleyes:
What the heck’s a gub?
I really have no desire to castigate Monkeyfarm at all and I would be misunderstood in that frame. Neither have I any desire to patronise or otherwise invoke a defense. I would though stick my oar in the water and I feel that my integrity binds me to steer from ‘unfortunate’ usage that may otherwise receive no public moderation.
It is true however that I have a poetic rather than literal semantic and prefer always (when in doubt) to amalgamate words individual meanings into their connotations (as I feel these are more commonly perceived anyway). Hence phrases such as ‘Tumpty is Hosed’ or "Spaztic Tumpty’ do have inferences that we should not necessarily (and certainly not in our entirity) choose to be ignorant of.
I am very glad that there are fine people who would correct me. I will consider your advice very carefully and with many thanks.
Its from one of Woody Allens’movies-he plays the part of a criminal "Virgil Starkwell"who hands a bank teller a robbery note and he has mispelled gun-he gets in an argument with
the teller …oh well…
Someone bought Antimorph a thesaurus didn’t they?
Or perhaps that’s just “real” English? 
BTW… Yes, that was a joke… Sarcasm with a bit of irony I think.
Hi Rhom
A new fan of Woody Allen 
I understand the explanation but not entierly the word “gub” It’s a contraction of “gun”
After a re-reading “Fiat Lux” It was a bad speeling
Yahoo My english grows a little
Thx Woody
