The scale thumbwheel and the scale text box (located above the Inventor window) allow the user to apply a multiplier to all values represented in the scene. Spinning the wheel to the right or increasing the text value for the scale will increase the height, or change the color, of every bar in the scene. Spinning the wheel to the left or lowering the text value will decrease the height, or change the color, of every bar. The button between the thumbwheel and the text box will reset the scale back to the original state. In addition, the metric text for a selected bar (see “Metric Selection”) will indicate the value after scaling as a percentage of the range. If the value in the metric information text box of a metric after scaling exceeds the defined range for an object, the object will turn white.
