Scaling only on the Z-axis

Hello,

I'm wondering, how can I scale a model only in one direction (on the z-axis) without altering the scale of X&Y axis when using the entry fields for the scaling (see attached screenshot)?

I'm currently using Prusaslicer version 2.7.4 on Linux.

Thanks

I think I found already the answer through some 'tinkering'.

There is a 'lock' symbol next to the 'scale factor' label... when I 'open the lock' I can change only one value of the scale factor (in my case the z axis).

I guess that's the solution.

Unfortunately the online help doesn't say anything about these entry fields, only the scaling on the model itself.

Cheers

The lock is your friend 

Unlocking it allows assymetric size changes.

Locking it again allows symmetric changes to the new shape.
