I added a "Upscale lock" check box to LM's scale bone tool. When checked, it won't let you scale the bone above its base size (1) or below the opposite (-1).
When checked, you can still scale beyond the lock using the text input.
I needed this for easier limb foreshortening. Hopefully someone else finds it useful as well.
Fantastic simple simple idea. I wish I had thought of this ages ago. I too struggle with having to always type in the stupid "1" when I had to scale a bone back to "normal".
By all means, Vern. I just needed it to be done in a way that was always active. How do you like how I mark my modded code? That should make it pretty easy to mod my mod.
Okay, I finally got tired of having to resort to the text input to scale past zero, so I fixed this tool so it would do so by just scaling the bone itself. I also adjusted that annoying drop off of manipulation input that slows the scaling at the extremes. It's still there, just doesn't drop off as much.
