Tweak scale

I tried, and prototypes showed me that scaling in viewport is bad idea.

1) Tweak tool based on 1 cluster selection, which is not good for scaling.
2) There are no free modifier buttons (alt ctrl shift are already used in Tweak).
3) Scaling in viewport needs very precise mouse movements.
4) Tweak tool won't let you select 2 points and scale by them. It's just not designed for such cases.

UV Tools already has interactive transform spinners for free scaling and resize in system units. Scaling in viewport is pretty inaccurate way of doing that.
So for now the answer is no.

Tweak tool

Hey ! Just bought your script, lovely! thanks for making it :)

Do you plan to add an uniform scale feature to the "tweak" tool ? Love the workflow of moving and rotating uvs in the viewport, but that's the one thing missing.

Send me email

This is not a good place for such discussions. Send me email and I will answer you. [email protected]
I already checked your scene. You don't have edges between vertical and horizontal elements, so you need to connect them in Editable Poly and then unwrap. After connecting you could use Flatten or Box mapping and then Orient elements by length.
