@frostheart10 which object are you scaling and which object is scaling with it. I can’t tell in the video.
Sometimes when you duplicate an object, with Shift + D or Alt + D, they can have different effects
on the object. Explanation here https://blenderartists.org/t/difference-between-shift-d-and-alt-d/603153 .
Also, make sure you only have the object you want scaled or rotated highlighted. I know it’s common sense,
but sometimes there’s something highlighted that you can’t see. If you can, post the .blend file, maybe we can
do a little investigation.
