object dimensions

[westray]

Is there anyway of finding out the height or width of an object using the expression editor.

[Gerblegod7]

Yes:

Scale / Angle--> Get X Scale (for width)
Scale / Angle--> Get Y Scale (for height)

[westray]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Wrong.

Width = X Right - X Left
Height = Y Bottom - Y Top

[Gerblegod7]

oops... I don't know why I even bother to try to help, I'm never right...

[Maverick]

Never hurts to try. I know I'm wrong a good portion of the time, but meh... it's better than doing nothing ^_^; I was thinking the same thing you were actually.

BTW: Thanks for the correct LC, to be honest, never knew how to do that. Kudos!

[LazyCoder]

Aww it's fine, maybe you had just skim read.

I wish you could scale by pixel as an alternative to the current ratio method, like with active system objects.

I guess that would be "resize" rather than "scale" though.
