~A question about Width~
I have a question about keeping the width of an object. See I am modeling out two railing meshes and what I would like to do is make a larger version of the first railing but keep keep the same width as the first railing. However upon making it larger the width of the mesh increases. Is there a way to keep the same width of an object but increase it's size?
Thanks Guys!

One way to do this is to create a profile and two curves (an inner and outer curve) and then extrude the profile along the curves. The size of the section created by the profiles will be the same.
You'll have to model the notches in afterwards.
and done.

Well I thought as much.nope. You are not going to be able to do this by either scaling the smaller one up or the large one down. When you scale EVERYTHING is going to stretch or get compressed.

Thanks for the info.
