numerical scaling in bones mode

[jon]

i want to scale a bone precisely (not using the mouse) and also scale related cps and child bones.

 

i expect to do this in the transform/translate area of the property window, but the entire transform section is grayed out, and i can't change the values.

 

what's going on?

• did this method go away sometime since version 8...
  
• am i not seeing the new way to do this...
  
• or am i experiencing some kind of bug caused by my version 8 model.
  

answers to anticipated questions:

• tried in versions 12v+ and 12w
  
• the model has been imported a few times
  
• scaling by mouse does work, but i want precision
  
• she's naked now, but clothes are next
  

thanks!

Make sure that the "show manipulators" button is pressed, hit "S" for scale, type in the "X" value and then hold the "Ctrl" key when you hit enter (you can't enter the values while holding down the "Ctrl" key). Repeat this for the "Y" and "Z" values.

 

Hope that helps, Jon.
