Handles Scale Tool handles (pun intended) on groups and components. Useful to lock the scaling of a pipe to be only axial and to easier grab the correct handle.

Activated from Extensions > Eneroth Scale Tool Handles. Personally I've set up Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right as shortcuts for blue, green and red scaling handles, and Ctrl+Down for 3D diagonal scaling handles.

This extension was originally planned to be a Ruby Extension example but turned out to also be a rather useful little extension.

It is used to shrink the selection to a subset of the selected entities using a slider. One practical use case is to randomly select a subset of similar components to replace with another component. If you for instance have numerous identical trees in a model you can select them all, use this extension to shrink the selection to about half, and replace those with another differently looking tree component.
