# Scale

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Scale tool** for hair guides in **Cinema 4D**. It lengthens or shortens selected guides — or scales the spacing of individual guide points — providing proportional control over hair length beyond simple cutting.

Scales the selected guides (exception: The spacing between points can be scaled in the **Point** mode. The **Relative** setting must also be active). **Scale** can be adjusted in the editor view or using the mouse.
