Ram Elements - Hot key for Deflection Scale adjustment in deformed shape view

Hi,

My suggestion is on the back of posting within the forum https://bentleysystems.service-now.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=fde7707647004bd8d5d91098c26d4325&anchor=answer_b18d72f247880f10557fd8de536d43d9


My suggestion is to add a quick way to scale deflections in the deformed shape viewer.

Having to go through the menu is slow and not ideal!?

This would be best achieved through a hot key, e.g. Shift + D + scroll in to increase deflection scale quickly (and scroll out to decrease deflection scale) whilst you view the model?


Automatic scaling does work quite well, although there is certain situation's where changing the scale easily and quickly in real time (via hotkey) would be very valuable.
