Disable scale and add descriptions
- [Instructor] Because of the way that we've implemented our three different model options we don't want the user to be able to scale the cabinet. Watch what happens if we do scale it down. The geometry distorts and we get these very narrow elements here, which aren't realistic. If you wanted them to be actual size you would have to implement it as separate components that are all referencing each other with formulas, like we did in the Bookshelf project, but that's not the way that we implemented this particular project, so we need to undo, and we need to disable the ability that the user has to scale the object. You can do that by adding an attribute to the top level. We'll add the behavior of the Scale Tool. And then right now all the scale handles are visible. I need to change that and uncheck all these options here. When I Apply, all the handles disappear and the user no longer has the ability to scale the model at all. Now to complete this project we should fill in a better name…
