At 19:11 Scaling S -> X not working for me

Question

Hi there,

At 19:11, after the inset on the Tank thread and extruding. When i try to scale S -> X, nothing seems to happen. Scaling in any other direction works though

Any help will be much appreciated

Hey Greg, since then the new default is to move or scale along the orientation set in the 3D view header, so it could be doing nothing if you have that set to something other than Global. Instead of changing it every time though, you can just hit X one more time to toggle between orientations. Hope that helps!

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the fast response!

By default it already says: Scale 1.0000 along global X

Have tried hitting X one more time, but unfortunately, it is still not working.

Anything else i can try?

Hi Jonathan,

It is now working after i set the Transform Pivot to 3D cursor. I must have changed it by accident
