Dimensions to Scale Cage tool

From time to time we all face this simple task: resizing multiple objects as one entity to some specific dimensions, expressed in units. There are solutions but none is easy or fast as you would expect.

I propose to add Dimensions beside Scale factor for the Scale Cage tool.

The interesting part of this solution is that it could offer proportional scaling like setting only height or widh but also non-uniform scaling depending on the cage point you used to start. Sc.jpg

This would be great. Is there any reason to limit this to the Scale Cage Tool? The "cage" exists whether or not shown in the UI. Also, the panel "Resize" would seem to apply to any scaling, in object or edit mode.

Not sure how it works, it seems only the active object is considered normally (no cage), but in Scale Cage tool the cage should be the equivalent of the active object. As for edit mode, probably the things are more complex in regards to actual dimensions.

It just makes sense 😮
