Synopsis

scale [-absolute] [-centerPivot] [-distanceOnly] [-objectCenterPivot] [-pivot double double double] [-reflection] [-reflectionAboutBBox] [-reflectionAboutOrigin] [-reflectionAboutX] [-reflectionAboutY] [-reflectionAboutZ] [-reflectionTolerance float] [-relative] [-scaleX] [-scaleXY] [-scaleXYZ] [-scaleXZ] [-scaleY] [-scaleYZ] [-scaleZ] x y z [object 1] [object 2] ...

scale is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The default behaviour, when no objects or flags are passed, is to do a relative scale on each currently selected object object using each object's existing scale pivot point.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
