As for the why, probably because it would be both hard to resize in only one direction or two directions without majorly distorting the linkset, and the number of usecases where it would be useful to only resize a linkset in one or two directions after finishing a build is probably fairly low.
as for the second question, the .001 is already a floor. once a prim reaches that dimension the set cannot go further because at this time we don't have prim sizes any smaller without scripts. to change that would, I would be considerable effort for very little gain. Furthermore it doesn't "lock" an item it simply limits how much further it resizes down. Personally, rather then worry about this and the hovertext both of which are legacy behaviors, i'd far rather see the major snowstorm developers work on issues that affect usability and accessibility for much larger parts of the sl population, as well as much more destructive bugs. For example, I'd much rather see things like storm-526 addressed, or snow-423, or cts-337, or better appearance editors, or any of a whole list of bigger issues. > Date: Sun, 9 Jan 2011 12:40:40 -0500 > From: robertl...@gmail.com > To: opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com > Subject: [opensource-dev] Why no single axis resize on linked prims?? > > Does anybody know of a good reason why when you are resizing a set of > linked prims you do not have the single axis resize?? > (also could we get a way to resize a linkset with 0.001 meters as a > floor not as a locking measurement?) > > -- > Robert L Martin > _______________________________________________ > Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: > http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev > Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
