Making Like Mini-Me: Mastering Object Resizing in Fortnite Creative (Switch Edition)
Ever felt like the pre-built furniture in Fortnite Creative is just a tad too big for your meticulously planned dollhouse? Or maybe those trees are just a smidge too short to cast a proper shadow over your villainous lair? Fear not, creative connoisseur, because resizing objects is your superpower!
Here's how to turn those oversized ottomans into pint-sized poufs and those stunted saplings into sky-scraping spruce trees on your Nintendo Switch:
1. Gear Up, It's Resizing Time!
First things first, grab your trusty phone (the in-game one, not your grandma's rotary dial). This bad boy is your key to transforming the size of pretty much anything in your creative wonderland.
2. Phone a Friend (The Object You Want to Resize, That Is)
Now, point that phone at the object you want to give a growth spurt (or shrink ray treatment). With a tap of the A button, that object is your new best friend... for resizing purposes at least.
3. Button Mashing for Bigger or Smaller Things
This is where the magic happens! Look at the bottom left corner of your screen. See those handy L and R buttons? Mash that L button like you're playing the fastest button mashing game ever, and watch your object shrink to ant-sized proportions. Feeling the need to go big instead? Slam that R button and witness your object inflate like a birthday balloon on helium overload.
Pro Tip: Hold down the B button to switch between rotating and resizing the object. No more accidentally spinning that precious statue into oblivion!
4. Axis? We Don't Need No Stinking Axis (Unless You Do)
By default, the L and R buttons will resize the object proportionally. But what if you want a skyscraper-skinny tree or a comically wide wall? No problem!
Look next to the resize arrows. See that word that says "All"? That's your axis control center. Tap on it and you can choose to resize by width, height, or depth. Now you can create some truly wonky objects to confuse your fellow island visitors.
Remember: With great resizing power comes great responsibility. Don't go overboard and accidentally create a world-engulfing chair!
Bonus Round: Duplication Shenanigans
Feeling fancy? You can actually resize a copied version of the object instead of the original. Just hold ZR while tapping A to select the object, then hit A again to make a copy. Now you can resize the copy to your heart's content without messing with the original!
