Basic example I've got a cylinder and I want to move half the edges closer to the centre of the cylinder. I thought selecting every second edge and scaling constraining X & Y (Not Z) axis only would work. But it doesn't seem to have any visible effect.

I am using 2.8 if it makes any difference.

In Blender 2.80 (Beta) it works still the same as in Blender 2.7x

With the edges selected, hit S, then Shift+Z to scale the vertices along the X and Y axis.

scaling x+y

  • $\begingroup$ Thats what I did. It didn't work. I tried changing the scaling mode too but no avail. Okay its not working in that particular file. I must have changed some option somewhere. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Okay in a brand new blend file. It works for me. In the existing file it doesn't $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The reason it wasn't working is that I had my piviot point set wrong. $\endgroup$
