Synopsis

scaleComponents( float float float [objects] , [pivot=[linear, linear, linear]], [rotation=[angle, angle, angle]])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

scaleComponents is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

This is a limited version of the scale command. First, it only works on selected components. You provide a pivot in world space, and you can provide a rotation. This rotation affects the scaling, so that rather than scaling in X, Y, Z, this is scaling in X, Y, and Z after they have been rotated by the given rotation.

This allows selected components to be scaled in any arbitrary space, not just object or world space as the regular scale allows.

Scale values are always relative, not absolute.

Return value

None
