Scaling from the side of an object numerically

Christopher Tyler May, 10th 2012 0 Comments
This quick object manipulation tutorial shows how to numerically scale an object while keeping one side stationary. Objects are normally scaled numerically from the center of the object, not from the object pivot (or origin). This shows how to scale so one side remains stationary using the Snap Tool. This also shows how to use the Keyboard shortcuts dialog to assign a key to the Snap Tool.
