"Apply" Transformation?

[thomthom]

I was exporting some XFrog trees into mrProxy. The original model was scale up to match real size after importing. But I find the proxies comes in with the size of the original geometry before it was scaled.

 

When I select the original geometry and activate the Scale tool it does say 519

 

 

So, how would I "apply" or bake the transformation so it recognized the scaled geometry as the correct and default size?

You can apply an Xform then collapse back to mesh.

However, you have two better ways of scaling up the original geometry.

1: scale at sub-object level

2: bind to dummy and scale the dummy as a controller.

In both these options the object otself still sees itself as 100%.

I see. Thanks for those tips.

 

But there is no way of baking a transformation into the geometry itself? Like in SketchUp when you right click a scaled instance and choose "Scale Definition"?

Yes, that's what reset xform does. You'll find it in the utilities.
