Hi there.

Maybe this could be useful for something . If we rotate an object and make a mesh from the object and then change the mesh of the object, we can scale the object in a different way. We can somehow, get differents primitives without using vertexdata or booleand CSG .Looking at old posts, someone wondered how to scale and save the object. An easy way to achieve this is scale limb zero instead of the object.

Scale box corner to corner.


Scale & save




Cheers.

That's strange.. I thought I could do the same with only FIX OBJECT PIVOT and SCALE LIMB, but CHANGE MESH is the one that works!

Fix object pivot just change pivots but when we scale, it scale the three axes proportionally , being the final object bigger or smaller

Right! I totally did not expect that. I thought the fix pivot would make the 45 degree rotation become 0 degrees, but apparently that doesn't apply to the actual mesh.

I did find that I could do the same with only rotate limb:
