This has most probably been thrashed out many times already but i am unable to find it using search so here gore.......


It would be nice if we were able to resize groups of prims along a single axis like with single prims. I am sure the programming to do a 3 dimentional sizing is far harder than single axis and you have managed that so why not single axis?

Also is it possible to add the ability to change parameters for a group of prims not just the root prim (global command)

I Feel these improvements are long overdue and should take precedence over the voice upgrade which seems from my experience to be a white elephant.

I've found i rarely want to resize linked prims in the way we can now. Single axis resizing would be much more useful.

Agreed, scaling is easy but not all that useful for complex objects

a Classic example is biulding stair which narrow towards the top with hand railings. I know the depth of the stais but not the width, so I build the stairs, add the railings as a seperate piece. i then adjust the width of the stairs and now have to reposition both the railings as their angle is now wrong. i cant link and scale as the height of the stairs and had rails are adversly effected.
