Does anyone know of a button or a script that will basically “transform”(rotate, scale, and move) like the gumball multiple objects at once(maya and max and even powerpoint have it) based on the objects centroid? I know I can use grasshopper but it’s a very common command that we use.

No, and I think it would be a terrific addition to the Gumball Options (“Transform multiple selections as individual objects”). Box edit treats multiple selections as a group and transforms around the group centroid. Move, of course, makes no difference, all objects transform relative to the same …

You’re absolutely right, Mitch, I did miss it and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. I now see I should be making more use of Box Edit, it is a powerful tool.

I do agree with you however that this would also be cool to do with Gumball, it there was some easy way to toggle the behavior. –Mitch

I’ve always felt that BoxEdit and Gumball are really two interfaces for the same thing and that it would be interesting to see how it works if they paid attention to one another. -Pascal

Hi Pascal, All, I think it really should be looked into as not having this is a missed opportunity for Gumball having very powerful functionality. In MAX for example, there is a dropdown menu that switches Gumball transform to many different modes. I think for starters in Rhino we could have World,…

Hi Jarek - yeah…more grist for the BoxEdit/Gumball melding mill, it seems to me. BoxEdit has a subset of this, Gumball a different subset… I will make a YT for this to at least get a ball rolling - I don’t know how realistic it is in the short term, I think it will require some UI thought. -Pascal …
