        hi Chris
        I proposed an idea on the forum.
        viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22569
        If you have not seen her.
        I think your plugins, could adapt well to the idea

        Scale and Rotate Multiple

        interested? is possible?

        greetings

            I just got a report that this might not be working right in 7.1!

            So if you use it and it moves components all over th place, instead of just scaling them, please let me know. I need to look into it.

            But otherwise I hope you find it useful πŸ˜„

              Can any Mac users verify if this script is working on SU 7.1? It appears to working great on Vista, SU 7.1 but I still have a report or two of it not working.

              Anyone have any example files where it is not working for them?

              Thanks

                  Thanks Thom!

                  I should mention what is not working for some, just in case you just verified it loaded.

                  I have heard 2 or 3 reports of this plugin thoring components all over the place, instead of using their axes. It seems that for some, this plugin does not scale and rotate according to the specified axes.

                  So if anyone still feels like testing further, awesome. Otherwise, I'll write a debugging version and give that to anyone who wants to test it out, see what is broken on their system.

                  Thanks again,

                  Chris

                    I just tried the random rotate and scale. That worked as expected. But if you have specific procedures that's reported to fail, then I can try that.

                      Yeah, I've seen that two times recently when using axis.
                      When I choose component base everything was o.k. though. ❓

                        Has it been on all components? or is just on face-me perhaps?

                          I tried with groups, components and face-me components. Can't reproduce.

                          ...maybe it has to do with nesting..?

                            just noticed something when orbiting after random rotate and scale; face-me components float about all over the place.

                                  this is exactly what happens with me. as you orbit they scatter all over the place.

                                    Chris has found this to be a bug in SU. He'd working on a workaround.

                                      Yes, this was an interesting bug to track down. It includes a few steps to get around it, but I have it working. I just have not been able to find time to work it into this script yet. And when I release it I'll owe a few big "thank you's" to a bunch of helpful people out there.

                                        Chrisssss! I used your plugin on a forest of faceme trees - quickly found myself in a mad frenzy of trees dancing ghostly around. πŸ˜• 😲

                                        Update? pretty pleeeease! πŸ˜„

                                          My idea of making its faceme false doing the rotation then resetting its faceme back again should be easy to include ?

                                            I just tried to use the Console to turn off then on:

                                            sel[0].definition.behavior.always_face_camera = false
                                            Scale and Rotate Multiple
                                            sel[0].definition.behavior.always_face_camera = true

                                            But still got the same problem. 😞
