Transforming multiple layers

Post by Jkoseattle »

I am creating a character consisting of multiple layers; arms, head, etc., but I realize the entire figure is too large and I need to shrink it all as one. How can I transform multiple layers as a single object rather than resizing each layer individually and making sure they line up properly again? Also, is grouping layers into folders for organizational purposes yet another Pro feature I don't have?

Either put them all in a group (which is a Pro feature, but bone layers work just as well) or align all their layer origins to the same position and scale all selected layers together.

OK, so in Debut, Bone Layers do double duty as Group Layers, got it. Seems like a petty thing for SM to disable for Debut, but whatever.
