Constraint -> Scaling

The Constraint -> Scaling command in the Actor and Motion modules constrains the scaling values of one or more selected objects so that they are the same as the scaling values of a constraining object. This command is useful for scaling all objects in a hierarchy at once, according to the scaling changes applied to one object.

You can also constrain one object to many, which results in the average scaling being used.

For more information about animating using constraints, see the Constraints section of the Animating User's Guide.

Procedure

1. Select the objects to be constrained.

2. Choose the Constraint -> Scaling command.

3. Pick the object that is to act as a constraint.

The constraining object flashes red.

4. Select the constraining object and scale as desired.

The objects constrained to it are also scaled, using the same scaling values as the constraining object.
