Second: while starting to build the Sentinels outpost, I started to get gross distortions when I duplicated objects. It happened when I was duplicating cylinders to make the colored pipes. If a cylinder was 0.1 x 0.1 x 5.2 inches, the duplicated object would be something like .01 x .01 x 12.73. The objects became incredibly narrow and very, very long. This was not a problem as long as the objects were pipes, I could just punch in the numerical values in the Properties/Motion Tray. But for bigger, grouped objects, there was no way to restore their shape. At last I quit Carrara, then re-opened a few minutes later. The problem seems to have cured itself.
Anyone else seen these problems?
