Scaling modifier gizmo

Submitted by Alen on Mon, 2011-12-19 13:18

I'm having trouble forcing gizmo to scale in relation to its center (as described in max script help).

Here's the part of the code:

addmodifier $ (vSelect=Vol__Select level:2 type:1 autofit: false )
vSelect.gizmo.scale = vSelect.gizmo.scale*0.2

If I omit the second line the modifier will be placed in an object's center, but with the line modifier gets offset (as far as I can tell in a random direction, but constant for a given object) and offset is invertly proportional to the scale multiplier.

Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Have you tried "Reset Xform" on the object before applying the modifier?

Never get low & slow & out of ideas
