Thanks for the responses, everyone. Sorry for my late response. I was waiting all day to receive e-mails notifying me of a response (since I thought I was subscribed to the thread) but never received any, so I had assumed no one had responded.


My problem is depicted in the three images below:

• -The first image is the original cylinder, non-scaled, with all the end-faces selected
• -The second image is the cylinder with all the faces scaled up. Notice that the entire cylinder scaled up along with it, which is not what the book wants.
• -Same problem with the 3rd image, only this time I scaled down.

In the images in my opening-post, the end-faces on the right are scaled down slightly without changing the size of the faces on the left, and the middle-face is slanted down to bridge the gap. I've been unable to get my cylinder to scale the same way, so far.
