Scale
Result of a Scale layout node
The Scale node allows to scale the affected Entities.
Add node
- In Maya Vertex Mode (F9), select one or more Entities in the Simulation Cache Proxy, enable Maya Scale Tool (R) ) in "Object" Scale Axis mode and use the gizmo to scale Entities. This will create both the Entity Selector and the Scale node in the Layout Graph Edition panel
- Drag the Scale node icon
from the Nodes Library panel and drop it in the Layout Graph Edition panel - Hit the Tab key in the Layout Graph Edition panel and select the Scale option in the dropdown menu that appears

Node parameters
Parameters are accessible by double-clicking on the node in the Layout Graph Edition panel:
Scale node parameters
| Name | Name of the node |
| Active | Whether the node is active or not |
| Scale | Scale to apply on entities |
| Scale Noise | Amount of noise around the scale value (each entity will randomly pick a value between scale - 0.5*scaleNoise and scale + 0.5*scaleNoise ) |
| Scale Trajectory | On to scale the whole trajectory, Off to scale only the entity (skeleton and geometry) |
| Pivot |
Pivot to use to scale the trajectory This parameter is keyframable, check the page explaining how to handle the keyframes in Maya |
| Random Seed | Random seed to use to pick a noise value per entity. Changing this parameter will change the distribution of noise on the entities |
