Sorry if there is a solution thread for this problem, I couldn’t find any.
Problem: As the title says, I can no longer scale nor rotate (shorcuts: S and R) an object in Object Mode (I can move them without problem, shortcut G). In Edit Mode I can resize and rotate edges and faces.
This issue only happens with my latest pyramid files (section 2), if I open a new file or an older enough version, I can rotate and scale objects.
When it happened: From my file versions the problem started at the lesson about Array Modifiers, but I realized just now, when I’m just finishing the Subdivision lesson.
Maybe I pressed some shorcut and changed some global property in the file? I can’t rotate/scale any object in these later files. (As I mentioned, the issue disappears in a new/old enough file)
Also: In the status bar the numbers change as I try to scale/rotate, but the object doesn’t change at all. To make any changes I have to enter manually the numbers on the right side panel (shorcut N).
Screenshots showing the issue:
Notice the change in the scaling numbers, but the object is not resizing:
I’ve been comparing the working files with the problematic ones, but the only difference I can see is an icon to the right of the snapping tool. This icon doesn’t appear in files with working scale and rotate shortcuts, I marked with a red rectangle below:
That is the only difference I can see, although I suspect that icon is completely unrelated, I should have pressed some key combination that messed up things.
I hope somebody knows what is happening.
Thanks!
