Scale to 0 using gumball handle not working

Hi McNeel
I can’t get scaling to 0 using the gumball handle (clicking the scale square and typing 0, then enter) to work. The preview looks right, but the command prompt tells me "Unable to transform 1 object. I use this all the time to align/flatten cp’s, curves etc. If this was removed on purpose, please bring it back :pray:
TIA, Jakob

Edit This is what I’m talking about

The first time it doesn’t work, and then it works all the time.

Not here, unfortunately. Not working at all on curves, meshes, subd’s etc. :grimacing:

working here, grab latest service release?

are you mac or pc?

I would think that the Windows video in the first post and the “Windows” tag was a dead giveaway, but anyway: It’s the latest WIP on Windows. I’ll grab the updated version tomorrow and see if it’s any better (and post SysInfo).

Hi @theoutside and the rest of the McNeel brain trust :slight_smile:
Running latest WIP in Windows 10 - sysinfo at the bottom.

OK, so here’s a play-by-play of what I’m seeing:
-Draw a curve and select it to turn on the control points.
-Select some of the control points.
-Click the scale handle, enter 0 in the text field and press Enter to complete the command
Two things happen: a) The prompt says “Unable to transform 1 object.” (no matter how many control points are selected) and a yellow, hightlighted preview of what the curve was supposed to look like (along with the control points in their right location) is shown along with the (unselected) original curve.

As soon as I click away from the curve, the highlighted (correct) curve and control points go away, and I’m back to the original curve.
Using the scale handle manually works. Using the “text field and entering 0”-method on the entire curve, instead of just control points, works as well. It also works on mesh and Sub-D faces but not if I turn on the control points and select them instead. Any thoughts/ideas?

Works as expected (and as it has done for years) in V7.

I see the same here- thanks for reporting this.

“Good” to hear :laughing: Thanks :+1:

gotta find the bugs before we can squish the bugs… appreciate you and all out users reporting this stuff. people often whine about “mcneel doesn’t test stuff, blah blah blah”

by releasing our new versions as wip to the public, we actually a have the largest testing group in all of 3d modeling software. (excluding maybe blender)

and with that we appreciate all of your talents and efforts to make rhino great, cuz we make it for you!
