resizing an embedded object

[Anonymous]

Hello.
I downloaded and embedded an object. I am trying to resize it, but it wouldn't work. It shows the diminished dimensions in the info box, but in plan the object is the same.
What can I do?
Thank you.

igreere:

The Object was probably scripted to be a single size. You can get around this by saving it as a new Object (File > Libraries and Objects > Save Selection as... > Object... command), which will add code to allow overall size changes in the X, Y and Z directions.

Thank you for the answer. I tried this way, but did not work.

Option to try is to convert the Object to Morph -> rescale the Morph -> and save as Object again if necessary.

Archicad doesn't let me scale the morph...

Edit-> Reshape ->Resize
is not working for you?

[Anonymous]

unfortunately not

What error is it giving if any? If none then it looks like you will need to re-install AC because that is not normal.

Just to be sure, the steps are:

1. Select Object
2. Right Click on object and select convert to morph
3. Select Object
4. Edit-> Reshape-> Resize
5. Select either Graphically or unselect it so that you can use a %
6. If graphically then click to establish the base point, then click to define the existing dimension, then click to choose the final size.
7. If by percentage then write the % and then click to apply.
