I’ve noticed an issue with BoxEdit when changing an object’s rotation without applying the transformation. Steps to reproduce: Select an object and open BoxEdit. Enter a rotation value (e.g. Y = 30°). Do not cl…

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 impressio…
