Scale Array Problem

Scale Array(MG version) script does not seem to be working. If I hold down on the Alt+S I get the dropdown flickering but if I release that it gows away.
The "Nudge" worked perfectly so I think I have done everything correctly.

Hi Brian,

Did you include a single point object ?

This is how Scale Array works : To use the ScaleArray command, you use any array command, but make sure to include a single point object with the objects you are arraying. The point object will become the center of the scale for each array instance.

After you do an array, select the arrayed objects (and only the arrayed objects, so for example if you do an array curve make sure the path curve is not selected), then do Alt+S (or whatever your shortcut key is) and follow a prompt.

Select all objects + one arbitrary point
Select a curve path if Array along a curve
Apply the Array
Select the objects + all the points but not the curve
Alt + S = Array Scale : enter your datas et voila :)

Quote "make sure to include a single point object"?---all objects + "one arbitary point"?

This "point" I guess is my problem. How do I create it?

(Sorry if the question is a bit dumb--probably kick myself, again, when explained!)

Hi Brian, create the point object by going to Draw curve / More / Point.

The point should be placed at the spot that you want the scaling to happen from, select the point along with your objects when you array them.

See here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=275.109
for the original ScaleArray post that has some more details and an example image.

Let me know if you are still stuck.

- Michael
