• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Solved: changing the pivot point and object rescaling

Hi,

I urgently need help:
I have a lot of taxiway centerlights (built with crossed planes) which appear to small in P3D. Unfortunately their pivot point is also off center in vertical direction for some unknown reason. I know that I already rescaled multiple lights in 3dsMax in one operation during the last project , but I cannot remember how and a google search did noch really help...
What I need to do is:
1. Move the pivot point of e.g. 500 objetcs to the geometrical center of each individual object
2. Rescale all objects individually according to their center point.

Maybe someone can help me or give me a hint what I have to search for?!:rolleyes: Thanks in advance!
 
You can select all of the objects and under hierarchy - select pivot - then center to object. Then you can right click on select and uniform scale and under absolute:local type in the scale adjustment you need. Should work - I just tested it with a bunch of random boxes.
 
Thank you so much! "Right click" were the magic words I did not remember but this is exactly what I did last time. It worked perfectly!
And for the pivot point: For some strange reason "the center to object" button was inactive but all of a sudden was there again. :)
