Scaling a feature in 3D by interactively dragging it

Rather than using commands which rely on dialog boxes or menus, you can also edit the position, size, and rotation angle of a feature interactively.

Interactive resizing can be a more efficient workflow to your editing tasks. You combine the function of the Edit Placement tool inside ArcGlobe and ArcScene with specific mouse button clicks (left, middle, or right) and keyboard keys to easily invoke these interactive tools (Move, Rotate, and Scale).

You can interactively resize the geometry of selected polygons, lines, and multipatches and update the symbol size of point features.

Steps:
  1. Select the feature you want to resize with the Edit Placement Edit Placement tool.
  2. To invoke the Scale tool, press and hold the right mouse Right mouse button button and the SHIFT key.
  3. Start dragging the pointer to interactively scale the features.
