A small 'Scale' quastion.
 
Hey guys, I am a complete noob and there is 1 thing I don't quite know... I am not very good at explaining but when you use for example Move tool then the arrows point up, right and forward no matter how your model is faced.

But when I use my Scale tool, the directions of my arrows (squares?) changes depending on the direction the model (or plane) is facing.

Is this normal or have I accidentaly changed something?:confused: I think I have seen an option of this somwhere but i fergot where :P

Thx ;)

open up the options for the tool and set it to world rather than object. you can get to the option box by double clicking the tools or going to, i think, modify>transform tools...

That option is only Move and Rotate, NOT for scale. >.<
But I just cannot remember...is it by DEFAULT that Scale tool is set to object rather then world or did I just messed something up?

Because if it has awlays been there then I don't mind. :P

freeze transformations (modify/freeze tranformations)and all the tools will then be set to the world.
