Maya scale tool
 

the scale tool appears upside down when I select some faces, for other faces it appears like it normally does?
why is this happening? can anyone explain please?:confused:

You are scaling in local space instead of worldspace that's why( I guess):beer:

i want the scale tool like in the right side for all the faces...
can u plz explain me in detail how to do it?

:)

Double click on the scale tool in the toolbox, and in the toolbar, select reset. Should work.

it did not work.. :(

As I have said before you are scaling in local space :
-1- Press r to activate scale
-2-press and hold R, then while holding R, LMB in the viewport
-3-A hotbox like thing appaers
-4-Go to select and then select global

If this doesn't work, freeze the transformations:
Modify-->freeze transformations

Good luck :beer:
