Resizing light volumes uniformly - how?

[motorsep]

Is it possible to resize a light volume in DarkRadiant uniformly ? Thanks.

Yes, just click on the properties and enter the x,y,z cords manually.

Yeah, but I meant interactively dragging bounds and having the volume to resize uniformly ?

[Bikerdude]

dont know in that case.

Here's an old topic:

You should be able to resize a light the same way you can resize a complex brush object:

 

o Select the brush
o (best) choose minumum grid size, but maximum 1 unit
o Put Vertices Mode for Edges ON
o Select all Verts of the brush which should be scaled
o Open Modify --> Scale, set X,Y,Z to the same numbers and scale each side the same amount (in case if you want a symetric scale)
o Use snap to grip if needed to put the scaled bursh tight with other brushes
