Modo Backdrop Scaling

axxic3 · Nov 2014

Couldn't find anything in the forum on this. I feel like I may be over-thinking this but how would I scale both the object and the backdrop reference together so they still match each other in Modo? I'm trying to get the head to be the same width as the ruler shown.

The backdrop image is just an object like any other. Go into object mode, select the backdrop and your mesh. Scale as required.

Err, Item mode ... MODO terminology.

Thank you for the quick reply Warren. I scaled the backdrop and model seperately, having to rearrange the model, scale on other axis since it distorted a bit, and fix the instances. Is there a more efficient way of doing this in modo where I can do them at the same time without distortion? Also, can I refresh the instance to match up to the new position? What i did was select the objects in item mode, scale them in all axis, and center them all using the command.

Try setting your action centre to Origin. It's an easy way to ensure they are all scaled from the same location.
