Scale Tool won't scale properly
 
This may seem like an odd problem and may have already been addressed, but I seem to have missed the thread and my patients is running thin (my professor hasn't responded to any of my emails).


Whenever I use my scaling tool and I wanna make the object smaller, it would refuse to do so. It would either stay the same size, or would continue to grow bigger even while moving my mouse towards the opposite side.

Go into the scale tool's settings and press reset tool. You probably have the check box with the 'step size' checked

Which menu is that located under? I can't seem to find it in the search option on the help website... (who the hell designed that thing anyway?)

Double clicking on the scale tool will open the tool settings window...
It's not that hard once you get used to it

Or if you don't have the tool box part of the UI showing you can just hit that icon on the top right of the screen and there's the long way, Windows>Settings/Preferences>Tool Settings. Personally I slapped a hotkey on it.
