Scaling stuff right in Constructor (beta 16)

Hi there

i discovered that trying to scale objects using only one axis is a real hard thing to do. But when you are scaling using the gizmo between two axes it works like a charm.

Feature request though: since we all are aware of 3dsmax a litlle bit, having the numeric input option to scale, transform and rotate on the 3 axes will be totally perfect, just like you can do so in max (or maya, xsi..)

Also, the pivot should have a temporary position setup. If I want to scale an object from bottom base up, would be nice to be able to move the pivot there temporary and then reset it back.

You can use the Transform Tools to scale, move, and rotate numerically on all three axii.

Yep and it;s beautiful; i messed around with the layouts and didn't see it. On the other hand it was right under my nose and didn;t see it. I was expecting the manipulator to do the same job on each separate axis :)

I discovered this earlier and forgot about getting back and post here.

..It will be awesome tho to have a lock on all axes and scale the object. How do I scale the object 2 or 3 times in all directions?

Now the Make (return) command won't work if I modify the brush via Modify/Transform: Size writing the input there and hitting Enter.
