I have already posted this as a question but I think this is a more appropriate place. When scaling a mesh using GizmoManager center point(to scale on all axis equally) it does not scale on all axis uniformly. When I try to scale, x axis scales faster and the y and z axis stop scaling after 2.04. I have to scale y and z axis individually. [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#4TBMBR](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#4TBMBR) If you scale any sphere in this example the shape of the sphere does not remain the same. ---

Pinging @Cedric the Gizmo master for help. ---

Hi @Hamid_Nawaz I’m not sure to understand. In this PG : [sphere scaling | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#4TBMBR#65) When the sphere is scaled uniformly (top corner resize box), the scaling values are the same on all 3 axis. What did I miss? ---

Hi @Cedric In your playground why are you commenting line 12: `sphere.scaling.x = 2` I have attached a screenshot of the issue. In the screenshot I only scaled using the center point but still the mesh gets deformed. ![Screenshot 2021-05-25 123838](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/3/c/3c98caff662c3d95a1414b469ad91c790ac19bf9.png) ---

Scaling is relative. If initial scaling on X is 2, then a scale of 1.5 will make the sphere’s scaling to be (3,1.5,1.5). I changed the PG, and only scaled with the center point but didn’t see anything wrong: [sphere scaling | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#4TBMBR#66) ---

> [@Cedric](#): > > Scaling is relative. If initial scaling on X is 2, then a scale of 1.5 will make the sphere’s scaling to be (3,1.5,1.5). Yes that is what I was expecting to happen but in the playground you shared if I scale from center point when x reaches 3 the values of y and z are 1.20. Screenshot attached. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/c/4/c4280423cbdf61ef76d3b4e6ec946c8db3ee8869.png) ---

My bad, I was not on the right version. I can repro the issue! I’m investigating. ---

@Cedric Thank you so much.
