Trigger on resize

Is it possible to get a signal when an object is resized?

I managed to override on drag to capture the user dragging the resize cones, but of course this does not help when they edit the spatials using the Properties window or Quick Properties tab.

I have some logic I'd like to execute when the object changes size, preferably even without resetting the model so that changes show immediately but not necessarily on draw because it will not happen very often.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.1

The quick properties fields call two function_s methods on the highlighted object when you edit them: scalecomponents and updateResetPosition. You can add one of these nodes to the eventfunctions of your object and they'll be called. Just know that you'll be overwriting any behavior from super classes.

See this example model where I added a scalecomponents node to the processor so that it changes color when you change its size through QP.
