In the top left corner of the 3D View, select the Scale tool from the Tools panel. Press S and then X to snap the 3D cursor to the object’s origin along the X-axis. Add a new object to the scene (Shift+A→Mesh→UV Sphere). Select the object and press S to scale it. Notice that the object scales equally on all axes by default.

To constrain the direction of scaling, press and hold Shift while pressing S. Then, press X, Y, or Z to constrain the direction of scaling along that axis.

To scale an object non-uniformly, press and hold Ctrl while pressing S. Then, press X, Y, or Z to scale only along that axis.

You can also use the proportional editing falloff (O key) to control how the Scale tool affects nearby objects.

There are a few other ways to scale objects in Blender. To learn more, check out this page from the Blender Manual.

Q: How do I scale two axis in Blender?

A: 1) In Object Mode, select the object you wish to scale. 2) In the Tool Shelf (T), under the Transform tab, click on the Scale button. 3) In the 3D View, press S to begin scaling. 4) Drag the mouse to scale along one axis, or hold Shift while dragging to scale along multiple axes simultaneously. 5) Press Esc or RMB to cancel.

Q: How do you scale equally in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to scale equally in Blender:

  1. With the 3D View selected, hit ShiftS and then select "Scale"

  2. In the Toolshelf (T), under the "Tools" tab, select the "Scale" tool

  3. In the Toolbar (pressing Spacebar), select the "Scale" tool

  4. With an object selected, go to the "Transform" panel in the Properties window (N) and click on the "Scale" icon

  5. With an object selected, hit CtrlA and then select "Scale"

Q: How do you scale an axis in Blender?

A: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to scale an axis in Blender will depend on the particular situation and on your own preferences. However, some general tips on how to scale an axis in Blender include:

-To scale an object along a particular axis, first select the object, then press S followed by the axis you want to scale along (X, Y, or Z).

-To scale an object non-uniformly along multiple axes, first select the object, then press S followed by Shift+the axis you want to scale along (X, Y, or Z).

-To constrain the scaling of an object to a particular axis, first select the object, then press S followed by Ctrl+the axis you want to scale along (X, Y, or Z).

Q: How do you scale multiple objects in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to do this:

  1. If you want to scale all the objects equally, select them all, then press S and use the mouse to scale them.

  2. If you want to scale each object individually, select one object, press S, then use the mouse to scale it. Repeat for each object.

  3. If you want to scale all the objects by a certain amount, select them all, press S, then type in the amount you want to scale them by and press Enter.
