Maya Modeling :: Scale Along Two Axes?

Aug 13, 2012

how can I scale an object along two axes? For example along x and z axes, because if I use the scale tool I can only scale along one axis or x, y and z axes at the same time.

Maya Modeling :: Why Does Scale Tool Not Working Right

Feb 14, 2012

When I try and scale anything, I hit the hotkey R and the 3 manipulators appear. No matter what I click on, X,Y,Z,or center, when I move my mouse I get an "automatic" jump increasing the size. I can't seem to get it to do anything but these staged jumps in size. I cannot scale anything down, unless I use the universal manipulator tool. So, for example, if I want to scale a size 2 sphere to a size .8, I would have to use the universal manipulator and Shift-click on one of the matrix corners and that will allow a uniform scaling. I realize that I can always enter the scaling amount in the Channel or Attribute box field, but it may be that I'm trying to visually scale something and entering numbers isn't exactly the best way.

Maya Modeling :: NURBs And Polygons Not On Same Scale?

Feb 1, 2014

i was creating a simple character(blobs withen blobs). It was going pretty good until i camme across an issue that i can't seem to fix. I first had his neck as a nurb but i realized to do what i wanted i would need to deleted a couple faces so simple create a polygon the same size and shape. So i draged the nurb over clicked create polygon and i made it. The issues was that i can not seem to get them the same size i went to the channel box and typed in the same numbers for size. It was similiar but, was off the entire object was too big. I tried extruding it to match the same rough height and i got that nurb was on a scale that was about 1.626 times larger this. I forgot to mention that i am running maya 2014 student edition.

Maya Modeling :: Can Make Scale Reflect The Actual Object Size

Jul 12, 2011

I have imported a model from C4D using the FBX importer, and everything was fine, except that it was way to big. I scaled it down to a more "manageable" size. So the scale reads 0.01 (All axis).

My question is, is there any way I can make Scale reflect the actual object size? Maya know these numbers, because they are present when using the universal manipulator tool. I would like it if the scene scale could reflect the real size of the object. So if i create a new object, the size relates to the size of the existing objects in the scene?

Can i put the real scale on the object, and then just "downscale the scene", so that the objects don`t appear giant? Like scene scale or something?

Maya Modeling :: How To Change Default Soften / Harden Edges

Mar 17, 2013

I have been having this problem for a while now that whenever I extrude or create something thats not totally smooth the edges by default are hardened. For example if I create a 12 faced cylinder it will hard edge everything including the verticle edges. Back when I first started using Maya i dont remember having to select specific edges to soften which can get very tedious and take up time.

I feel like there should be some sort of way to harden horizontal edges and soften verticle edges but I cant find the solution anywhere. Is there any way to change the default soften/harden edges?

Will post pictures upon request.

But when I click on "Cylindrical Mapping" nothing happens. There isn't even an error message.

AutoCad :: Unable To Edit Unlocked Layers / How To Change Default Viewport Scale List

Jun 8, 2011

I just started using 2012. Two problems:

1- Somehow, in my current drawing, everything is layer-locked. There are no Xrefs in this very basic drawing. All layers are unlocked. Yet, any attempt to select any entities results in "x objects were on a locked layer". Again, all layers are unlocked. No Xrefs. No blocks. Just simple lines. All entities appear faded. This happened after viewing a layout in both paper and model spaces. Reviewing the text window shows no strange accidental commands.

2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at the bottom right. Default scales are all metric. I would like both metric and imperial. I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metric list, and which are in an imperial list. But how do you set what is displayed/available in the status bar button?

Maya Modeling :: Move / Scale Entire Item - Objects Move Separately

Dec 9, 2012

So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.

some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.

I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.

Maya Modeling :: How To Edit Symmetric Model With Non-symmetric UVs

Apr 17, 2012

I've created a model of a monkey in Maya. The model is symmetric along the X axis - however, the UVs are not.

I've just gotten to the stage where I'm rigging my model and discovered that I'm missing polygons for a finger joint on both hands. I'd like to insert some edge loops for this extra joint. I could do this by just adding the loops by hand, but if I do that, they'll be a little bit off and my model will no longer be symmetric. Alternately, I could delete the right half of my model, add the loops on the left half, and then mirror and merge my geometry. This would preserve the symmetry, but completely destroy the UV info on the right half of my model.

This seems like it would be a common modeling problem. Does Maya have a way I can add the extra cuts to my model, preserve symmetry and not force me to redo the UVs and texture map for my entire model?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Cannot Edit Extrusion Vanishing Point Coordinates

Oct 9, 2013

After creating an extrusion, we selected the object sometime later, but are not able to edit the vanishing point coordinates for the extruded object.  Is there a reason we cannot edit this object?

Vanishing point coordinate boxes, on toolbar, are grayed and unavailable.

Anchor for vanishing point on drawing screen is an outline and unavailable.

Object is marked as editable, so editing is not blocked.

Selecting the original text or extruded subgroup object makes no difference.

Extrusion gradient colors are not showing on the extrusion walls.

Have varied the 'Extrusion Type', but the types are hard to discern and don't make a difference in the editability of the object.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edit Extrusion - Ok Button Greyed Out

Oct 15, 2012

Whenever I edit an Extrude 'cut' feature,(eg: To Add or remove a profile), the OK button is greyed out and no matter what I do, I can't get it back.

The only way to edit the extrusion is to:

Shift EOP
Delete the extrusion
Recreate the extrusion.
Shift EOP

fix errors if any.

GIMP :: Dot Button Beside Scale That Auto Sets Scale Back To Default?

Jan 5, 2012

When I'm editing pix, and need a quick large solid brush for a couple seconds, (1-inch dia), I slide "scale", but it's nearly impossible to manually rest scale back to default without restarting Gimp...

Can there be a dot-button beside scale that auto-sets scale back to default..? and/or a timer on scale changes that resets scale back to default after ten-seconds..?

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Scale Multiple Shapes

Oct 3, 2011

I often have to import shapes via illustrator export/import. Then I have to scale all the shapes up to real world 1:1 size.

I typically just grab all objects and use the SCALE tool...but I hear that is actually the WRONG approach?

So I tried scaling all the objects at a sub-object level. i.e. select ONE object, yellow highlight vertex, segment or spline... then scale up.

Is it possible to select multiple/all my shapes and scale up this way? When I select all of them, my modifier stack obviously disables and cannot select via sub-object (vertex, segment or spline level).

I tried grouping. modifier stack disables still. Do I have to ATTACH each one to another (multiple I guess via list?) and then scale all them via SEGMENT level?

Is there a easier/faster way to do lots of objects imported like this...or is this the way to do it?

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Shrink (not Scale Down) A Mesh

Nov 17, 2011

I'm missing a shrink tool or modifier which can shrink a mesh. I don't want to scale it down because it's preserving the proportions but that is not what I propose to do.

The Shell modifier for example extrudes the polygons along their local normals. This in reverse I'm trying to do.

Think about a banana and you will get a copy of it in a smaller and thinner way because you have modelled the shell of the banana but not the flesh in it. I think that explains the difference between shrinking and scaling.

Maya Modeling :: Cut Out A Piece Of A Polygon

This is my model. Simple.

Now the only thing I want to do is to cut out this:

[URL]........

I used the Extrude tool just for visualization. The problem is, working with booleans apparently doesn't work for such objects, it works for freshly created clean polygons, but not for this one, when I try to use "Boolean difference" both objects disappear.

Extruding doesn't work because the faces are still there and I cannot delete them for whatever reason:

[URL].........

My cursor is pointing on the little face, but both are being highlighted. Making a hole through the the "Make a hole" function doesn't work because it only deletes faces as it seems.
