  World Transform…. Scale

  Posted by Adam Forbes on December 3, 2012 at 9:48 pm

  So I need an expression that will calculate the WORLD scale of a child object. Basically if a parent is scaled up the child’s scale “stays” the same but how would i calculate it’s actual scale?

  I know you can do this with position… but not sure how with scale.

  check if it helps (I probably got that from a post from Dan Ebberts)

  L = thisLayer;
  s = [100, 100, 100] ;
  while (L.hasParent){
  L = L.parent;
  for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++) s[i] *= 100/L.transform.scale.value[i]
  }
  s
