I made something big for ease of construction and created a preset, then created it in my target scene but now I don't seem to be able to shrink it past a certain point.

have you tried changing it from the attributes panel?

Yes - have you looked at the XYZ size values fo the object by hitting the little "E" button? I think the minimum value for any one of the XYZ values is .10 BU. HTH; Dan

Sorry - that should read .01 BU! and Drac's right - the lower values can only be had by typing them in.

Okay! Thanks! I was just using the resize axis of evil... (Typing in the numbers does turn it into a bit of chore to match it to another object though - but at least I've got something to work with!)

I have also had problems with importing some objects would not let you resize them no matter what,And I always check to see if it was locked but nope everything looked fine,I thought i did hear that there was a certain bug that was mentioned thru the Betatesting team...Read it on a forum some where....? Something to do with importation on my episode tho....

I'm with foleypro on this one...there seems to be a bug that pops up now and then that locks an object. In my case it wasn't an import though, just a really big bryce tree. I made it HUGE and all of a sudden it wouldn't move, size, rotate or anything. It made sure it wasn't locked too. I never did get it to work.

I've seen this bug. It can happen with just about any object. When it happens, just save the file and reboot. Open Bryce again, open your file, and the object in question should resize OK.

In Red Dwarf there was a time when Kryten was made human and couldn't understand why he didn't have zoom vision. "How do you bring small objects into sharp focus?" he asked. Lister replied, "Just move closer to the object." Works in reverse too.

Re-positioning the viewer isn't viable when you are trying to match a single object to a pre-existing scene (though I appreciate the observation) especailly if there are already photo elements that are stretched to the limits of their density.

Too tricky to increase the rest of the scene in size? I don't think the photo element will suffer, since you're moving away from it so it will appear to be the same size anyway? Maybe group the entire scene, resize, move back and place your preset? It works in my head, but can't tell how it would work in Bryce or for that point your scene.

I actually already had to shrink the scene to alleviate some of the photo element's suffering... I'm dealing with some free-bie stuff (which I'm immensely greatful for) in the trike series, but it seems to require some reduction in size to keep things dense enough to stand up. And then on the other hand there's Maski's barn, which is about as big as the whole of England! (and stop confusing me with DBP/DBphoto!)

Sorry.

OK, as long as there aren't two of you coming State-side! 8P
