Graphic Functions: Rotation, Position, Scale

Scaling the Object

You can scale an Graphic Object along the X, Y and/or Z axis to adjust the object size.

The Scale parameter adjusts the size of the object’s image up to approximately 10x its original size. At a DMX value of zero, the image shrinks to a dot. At the midpoint of the DMX value range, the image is normal size. When the DMX value is increased from the midpoint, the image is enlarged. In addition, when the DMX value is reduced below the midpoint, an inverted image is enlarged.

Tip: Use the X,Y and Z Scale parameters together to enlarge or shrink a 3-D object proportionally.

X Scale

The X Scale parameter scales the selected 3-D object along the x axis, either expanding it or making it smaller. Use it when you want to size the object’s horizontal component.

A DMX value of 128 (50%) sets the object at its normal size. Values less than 50% shrink the object horizontally to the smallest at 0. Values greater then 50% enlarge the object horizontally to the largest at 255 (100%).

Default DMX Value: 128 (50%) = Normal Scale

Original Object 1 and Object 2

Object 2 X-Scale DMX value = 165

All Scale DMX values = 128 (50%)
