Full Version: Scaling including background images

Hi Axel,

I'm not sure how I could set that up - the Transform > Scale command handles scaling objects and background images are not regular objects.

I could set up a script that could scale the background images to a given scale factor, would that be useful?

Hi Michael,

I suspected that maybe the feature "embed image data in 3dm file" could be extended to that idea to scale the images together with the curves/objects.

If I have several images as background images and want to scale the whole file then I would have to scale each image single by single and align to the exact position. There could be always little discrepancies after manual scaling each image.

Such a script I guess would be of help. I don't know if the image would need to be shifted to its original position after the scale.

Thank you,

Axel

Hi Axel, here's a TransformBackgroundImages script which has a move function and a scale function which will transform all background images together.

Hi Michael,

many thanks!!

Thats really great, because it reduces discrepancies and saves time.


One request: is it possible to get it with undo ability?


Best regards,

Unfortunately since background images are separate from regular objects there isn't the same undo infrastructure for them. So it's complicated for a script like this to support undo on them.
