Hi,

here's another issue with hierarchies that I don't quite understand: if I have a chain of 3 elements, and I scale the first element of the chain in, let's say, Y, the children get scaled accordingly as expected. So far so good. Now I'd like to tie the Z rotation of the second chain element to the Y scaling of the first element (i.e. rotation form child to scaling of parent), and as soon as I do so, the children don't inherit the parent's scaling anymore. Now I tried to set the same expression to the Y scaling of all 3 elements - when I do so, the children now seem to inherit the parent's scaling and then add the expression on top of it, which means now the children scale twice as much as the first chain element. This behavior seems a bit odd to me - anyone knows what going on...?

Thanks,
M.
