Scaling in 2 axis at once Is it possible to scale 2 axis(s) at the same time? Essentially making an object proportionally bigger.

This also applies to tighten a loop cut. In this example, the object looks tightened/constrained in only one direction but when rotated we see that it is not tightened evenly all around. 

Thank you
This problem haunted me for weeks but as in the past, I solved it before anyone needed to answer. 

The trick is that I was scaling the object by clicking on the colored z-axis on the gizmo and not clicking somewhere further away. 

Seems so simple now.
