I’m having trouble changing the size of some components from 3D Warehouse (in particular, Marvin Windows and Doors components). I’ve tried scaling with the scale tool, but there are no scale handles on the object. So I edited the dynamic component options for height and width, which I assume is the correct way to scale this component. Whenever i do this, the component just goes haywire and the frame stays put while the interior parts of the window move outside the frame (below it), but nothing changes in size.
Actually I just tried the one you linked to. The first control is a choice of “Standard” or “Custom”.
Choose “Custom” and then change the width. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the dialog, and it will recalculate.
Okay figured out how to post an image. Here’s what happens when i change the size from 36" to 24". It does make the window thinner. but the whole interior of the window moves down below the frame, and that little bit of frame stays put, effectively doubling the height of the component and obviously rendering it unusable.
Can you export the view via File > Export > 2D Graphic…
Then attach the image to a post by either drag-n-drop, or use the upload icon (7th from left on the post edit toolbar,) and browse to and select the image file.
Yeah it still doesn’t work for me with that model either. I guess this component is just screwy. Anyway exploding it worked fine. I just had to modify the glass after and re-make it into a component. Thank you!
Well this is crazy. If I open your model, I can modify the component just fine. If I start a new file from scratch and download the model from 3DW then it doesn’t work.
