Hello dxc, and Welcome to the Greensock Forum!

 

Since you are explicitly trying to animate the height attribute.. you need to add that height  within the attr:{} object

 

Codepen example:

See the Pen BFpmx by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen

// animates the css property height
TweenLite.to(svgAll, 1.5, {height:250});

// animates the height attribute with attr: {} object
TweenLite.to(rect01, 1.5, {attr:{height:5}});

:

When animating attributes, GSAP uses the AttrPlugin:

 

http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/Plugins/AttrPlugin/

 

Below is taken from AttrPlugin Docs:

 

Tweens any numeric attribute of a DOM element. For example, let's say your DOM element looks like this:

<rect id="rect" fill="none" x="0" y="0" width="500" height="400"></rect>

:

You could tween the "x", "y", "width", or "height" attributes using AttrPlugin like this:

TweenLite.to("#rect", 1, {attr:{x:100, y:50, width:100, height:100}, ease:Linear.easeNone});

:

You can tween an unlimited number of attributes simultaneously. Just use the associated property name inside the attr:{} object.

AttrPlugin is NOT intended to be used with css-related properties because the CSSPlugin already handles those.

 

Note: a common mistake is to forget to wrap attributes in a attr:{} object which is essential for specifying your intent.

 

Does that help? :)
