Hi

I’m investigating some script changes since upgrading to DS4.5 and have tracked it down (I think) to possible changes to the DzNode.getScaleControl functionality since DS4.0.

There are 4 related functions

In DS4, after calling setValue() on any of the scale controls, DS would propagate the W scale to the underlying X, Y and Z scale controls and reset the W scale control to 1, as follows:

It appears now that in DS4.5 the W scale is not propagated to the underlying controls, as follows:

 
Can anyone pls confirm whether the scale controls implementation was changed in DS4.5?

Thanks

Looks plausible - formerly drop to floor did the same, switching the scale from the master control to the axis controls but now it doesn’t (and drop to floor is a script).

The set value on the properties did not change, however there was a new variant of DzNode::setLocalTransform that was written that tries to maintain the value in the general scale property.  DzNode::setWSTransform now calls this new variant.  So depending on what you do before or after the setValue on a scale property, it may cause what you are seeing.  The new variant of setLocalTransform will cause the general scale to be set to a non-one value when any two of the component scales matches values.
