Scaling the matrix

[N. W. Perry]

I shouldn't answer posts that late, I thought the 1x8 brick was supposed to go between the two pins

You can still use the relative grid method though, just select all red parts before scaling.

Yes!   Relative scaling does still work—I tried it both as a submodel and as a group, but is there anything I need to be careful of? Sometimes I find that I have to re-snap the parts of a group after scaling, but that may be only when I'm using the absolute grid. (Also, it appears that scaling will account for the origin of a submodel, but not the custom center of a group.)
