Branko, your code still produces streched popcorns. :)
The problems is in ScaleSelected operations. Replace it with this and everything will be fine:
[code
cornMod.SetOperation #Transform
cornMod.ScaleSelection [1.5031,1.5031,1.5031] parent:(transMatrix corn.pos) axis:(transMatrix corn.pos)
[/code]

Thanks Kostadin
Streching is not only problem here but also face-overlaping
I corrected below code as you suggested.

try this one
I added random position to each popcorn to produce differend form
try(destroyDialog ::popcorn_button)catch()
rollout popcorn_button "Popcorn"
