If you set scale to -1 for example, \"move 1\" moves you by -1, which makes sense. But if you create a cube, it is inside out. I think we should never produce inside out geometry, since it renders incorrectly and probably causes other problems. arguably this is a bug.\r\n\r\nSo one simple fix would be to always take the absolute value of the scale when applying it to new geometry.
