= SUMMARY =

The following procedure offers a very simple method for uniformly scaling an entire hierarchy or branch:


 * 1) Parent the models, branches and/or hierarchies to a Parent object (for example, Prim. Null).
 * 2) In Single mode, select the new master hierarchy.
 * 3) Activate all three Scale buttons (e.g. with the “X” key), and from the status bar, activate the UNI Scaling mode.
 * 4) To scale up or down the entire hierarchy, you can either click and drag with any of the three mouse buttons, or enter an absolute value in the Scaling dialog box.
