Which transforms are affected by the Transform Center when scaling an object?

• A. Scale and Rotation
• B. Position and Scale
• C. Position and Rotation
• D. All three

Answer: (A)

The Transform Center defines the anchor point about which scaling (and rotation) occurs. When you scale an object, the size changes relative to that center, so the center acts as the fixed point the geometry expands or contracts around. The same center also serves as the pivot for rotation, so changing the Transform Center changes how rotations behave as well. Position, or the object's location in the scene, is controlled by translation and is not governed by the center used for scaling and rotating, so it isn’t affected by switching the Transform Center in this context. That’s why the best answer is scale and rotation.
