Can I edit the height of my ERD shape?

Hi @Sasha-EE, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Taking a look at your screenshot, it looks like the second to last row in your first table has text on two lines, contributing to the larger size of that row. You can adjust the size by grabbing one of the tables, which will adjust the right side of the table first. Then, you can select the middle line to adjust the size of the left side. PI have attached a GIF to demonstrate this: 

Please note, you can only scale the corners horizontally. However, if you scale your first table so that all text fits within one line, both of your tables should be the same height. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ah. Yeah, I had figured out the thing with the two lines on the left table. I just really want to know why the shape controls don’t work correctly for the ERD object. I can resize a group of rows in Excel/Google Sheets/Numbers; why wouldn’t an ERD object in Lucid work the same way to size the object vertically based on the pixels I entered?

Or, another way to frame this problem - why does this control _appear_ to let me enter a number and hit enter, but then do nothing? Gray out the vertical pixels if that’s something I cannot change.

Hi @Sasha-EE, thank you following up! Our ERD Shapes behave differently to regular shapes due to the advanced options that are available. I apologize for the confusion with the height adjustment in the Shape Controls, as you can adjust the width but not the height since it will automatically adjust as Fields are added. 

We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

The length of the entity is locked. This was not the case previously. I cannot reduce the width of the entity form without also changing the height. That sucks. Please support. Thanks.

Hi ​@HKaspire, I’ve raised this with our development team and they’ve confirmed that the height of these shapes is meant to be locked and is working as intended. 

The width has recently changed to create a minimum width. The development team is actively working on a fix for the width changes. I sincerely apologize for any disruption this may cause, and I will update this thread with any new information about a fix.

Hi ​@HKaspire, I have good news! Our development team has let me know that the issue should now be resolved. The chevron shape/arrows have been removed and you should be able to adjust the width of your shapes once again. 

If you have any shapes that are collapsed, you can now expand them using the panel on the right. This panel can now be used to expand/collapse your shapes as shown below.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

If you’re still seeing the issue or have any other questions, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help!
