lsk Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Haven't been on in quite some time as everything works so well. How do I scale a 3-D object to a drawing? Trying to put in some trees from the resources palette, architectural, specialties, landscaping file using hybrid objects. But I can't get them to scale. I've got a 1:20 drawing in which my majestic conifers are about two feet high. Seems simple, What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Try the "SCALE OBJECTS" command? Peter Quote Link to comment
lsk Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 tried scale objects, doesn't work get an unusual scale objects window having the ratio value set as 1.0000. I can change that to 2.0000 which does nothing and if I try anything larger I get a message back that says its an invalid parameter have tried the 3D scale tool but can't get any of the "handles" to illuminate to grab on to..... I have tried putting the trees into my base layer at the 1:20; I have put them into a separate layer at 1:20 and at various other scales....I always get the same size tree and they won't render in 3D Quote Link to comment
Bart Rammeloo Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 If those trees are symbols, you should either convert the symbol to a group and rescale the group, or edit the symbol and scale the geometry while you're in edit mode. Cheers, BaRa Quote Link to comment
