I’m some what new to Para View so please bear with me. I have a model in Para View with multiple different filters active at any given time. I’m trying to find a way to modify the z axes on the entire model so some properties of it can be more easily viewed but it would be extremely inconvenient if I had to go into the scale of each individual filter and change the value every time I needed to adjust it. Dose anyone know of a way to get the entire modules scale to function under one variable?

There isn’t a global parameter to scale the Z-axes, but you could run a small script to do this:

```python
for rep in GetRepresentations().values():
    rep.Scale = [1.0, 1.0, 2.0]

```

This can be run in the _Python Shell_, which you can open with the View -\> Python shell menu item.
