You can change the way the objects are highlighted.
3. Click the Capture Keyframe button on the Animator toolbar to create a keyframe with the
initial object state.
4. In the timeline view, move the black time slider to the right to set the desired time.
5. Click the Scale Animation Set button on the Animator toolbar.

To resize all objects in the currently selected animation set, place the mouse over one of seven
squares. When the cursor changes to , drag the square on the screen to modify the size of the
objects. Typically, dragging a square up or right increases the size, dragging it down or left
decreases the size.
To resize the objects across a single axis only, use colored squares at the end of the axes. To resize
the objects across two axes at the same time, use yellow squares in the middle of the axes. Finally,
to resize the objects across all three axes at the same time, use the square in the center of the tool.
You can modify the center of scaling. To do this, place the mouse over the square in the middle of
the tool, and hold down the CTRL key while dragging the square on the screen.
