Hi Deb

These two 'rods' are part of 1 Object and it's Origin is here:

After Applyng the Mirror Modifer, the four 'rods' are one Object. The Origin is still in the left rod.

For what you want, if I get that right, you would, in Edit Mode, P > Separate > By Loose Parts. Then Scale in Object Mode by Individual Origins.

It could also be that you have your transforms to affect only the location? And so when you scale it moves away? If you have it enabled like this, you should disable it:

With Booleans, you should not forget to hide the second Object (in your case Cube.004).

Or change its Viewport Display:

I thought for union mode I needed to keep the target object visible since I wanted them to look symmetrical, so I didn’t hide it. But I still need to hide it — now there’s no glitch and they both look symmetrical...Thanks as always martin..
