Purpose
Usage
Click the squash button to activate it, then activate the part to be
squashed. By holding the middle mouse button down while moving the mouse, the
currently active part will change size along the three axes independently from
each other while keeping the volume constant, until you press the left mouse
button. If the keyboard toggle button is active, you can enter numerical
values.
Comments
When you enter numerical values, the result will be an average in order to keep
the volume constant. All transformations are relative to the current position.
The transformation actions with the mouse are relative to the current window.
By changing the view in the window, transformations in all directions are
possible. If you want to size along only one direction in the window, use the
squash button in conjunction with the xy toggle button.
Use local axis when you do not want to squash from the origin at x=0, y=0,
z=0.
