Re: Dangerous behavior for a 3D software.
Normalize does not normalize levels, it does make scale them uniformly. But the scaling is not 1 1 1. Anyway it does solve the problem. I cannot understand how and why I would have make non uniform scale. The models were traced from an image with precise mesure. I would never do that, and it's not affecting the proportions? There is still an update problem in RS. Also this Normalize should be explained in the user manual not only reference. In CombadZ if you scale an object by 0.5 0.5 0.5 and rotate it 45 degree; and put an other object inside that object, the new object will immediately be scaled half and rotated 45 degree. If you remove the new object from the rotated one, it will return back to it's normal position. In CombadZ if you translate/place a bowl on a table, and then place a plant in the bowl in the hierarchy window, the plant will be moved in the bowl. It may be annoying at first but at least it is constant and mathematically accurate.
