antknee Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi all, I seem to be having some trouble getting a group to scale properly when they are parented to something I am scaling. I have gone to the joint editor and chosen inherit scale and set offspring etc. This seems to work on some objects and not on others. Can anyone shed any light on this issue, it is causing a long delay in my workflow, the models are from eim and I am using V8.0. thanks in advance!!!

S. Houtzager Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have found it very dependable when I parent everything to a null and scale the null. You can set in the preferences that items come into EI with inherit scale already checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertb Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Have you selected inherit scale on all the children and not just the parent? Also if the children aren't parked Eg their xyz are not 0,0,0 you can end up with strange results. Hope this helps. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antknee Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi Robert, thank you for your response! Will let you know how I get on! regards Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yeah Robert is right, this works fine so long as all the children have 'inherit scale' checked. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antknee Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hey Guys, thanks very much. My heirarchies were all not set to inherit scale in the Joint editor. It's working as one would expect now! Thanks again! Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
