Summary	0000337: Editor supported model scaling
Description	Sounds like it might be complicated, so let's backburner this request for now. For reference: http://modetwo.net/darkmod/index.php?s=&showtopic=5898&view=findpost&p=118792 Basically, it's a request for the scaling hack (e.g., 'rotation' '2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2') to be handled by the editor. The user puts in their rotation information, and then when finished, scales it through DR (maybe a dialog or somethign), which runs the matrix calculations for the user and applies the final numbers to the rotation field. If the user then rotates after the scaling, all bets are off, and the scale should revert to normal (and they can then repeat the process). Edit: Forgot to mention: since this does not scale collision, it's probably a good idea to notify the user (on the dialog, or with a message) that they'll need to handle making collision brushes or meshes on their own.

Difficulty of using the rotation tool in the editor after the hack is used. 3. Broken shading due to denormalised normal vectors (i.e. they don't have length 1, which is assumed during shading calculations). Although (1) can be documented and left up to mappers, and (2) could in theory be fixed in the editor, I am aware of no solution to (3) and this would seem to be a showstopper.
