I suspect there is a bug in the BoxEdit.
Setting height to 7000 on objects of varying heights does not set them all to 7000. Instead it makes some relative height and updates the scale factor.
I was under the impression that if I removed lambda in the size box then it would become absolute sizes?
Yes, it’s a bug. That’s what used to happen but not now. I don’t know whether it is on McNeel’s list or not.
Cold comfort, but the position fields do work like that still.
It adds the 7000 to the height of each object.
Edit: Size works as you expect in Rhino 5 & 6 but not in 7, 8 or WIP
Oooooh yes been reported since V7. Still a bug. Been marked for a future fix.
I got tired of waiting and wrote a python script resize it in Y axis and aligned the bottom edges for what I was needing it to do. Here it is if it is helpful.
ResizeYAligned.py (1.5 KB)
It did work correctly in the early version of 7… but was broken mid release cycle and never fixed. Maybe one day… they will fix it.
Your not the only one that has notice this bug. Make the transform individually almost useless. I think that was the point of the check box. A user should be able to input a number with that object selected and they should transform all to that measurement, not add to the current size by that amount.
I love when someone points this bug out. Gives me a chance to ring the bell again…LOL
