I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to scale/transform by specific units.

Ex: I created a box 256 units. I want to squish and scale the box on one axis by 128 units. I just want to type it in the transorm box instead of zooming in on the grid and watching as I transform from unit to unit. Haha.

But it does not work as expected.

Any ideas?

Where's Cryid when I need him! lol

    Just a box, no fancy edges or axis?

    You should be able to add /2 to the scale value of the axis you want (which would cause both sides to scale in until the box is 128 units on that axis), or select the verts/face on one side and add -128 units to the transform value of that axis if you only wanted one side to move.

    Create the box 256 units, than freeze it, and freeze the transformations. Than select the box, and type down the coordinates.

    This should work.
