Scale in Blender

[katreeny]

I've noticed Blender has an unfortunate tendency to treat whatever the current scale happens to be as the unit size - with the result that I now have an Age where my ground surface is roughly pebble sized, and my poor avvie has nowhere to stand.

Is there any way to get, set or force Blender to get back to the "default" scale you've got when you start new? Or any other easy way to get an accurate scale?

Thanks,

Katreeny

One Blender unit equals, in our case, one foot in Plasma. So if you make a six foot-tall box, that will be as tall as a male avatar. That's a good sense of scale

In Blender, while in object mode, select from the menu of the 3d View, Object - > Transform -> Clear/Apply -> Scale and rotation

That will set the scale of the object back to 1 but keeping the scale that you just did

I think this is mentionned in the 'First Age' tutorial, maybe that'd need to be made clearer?
I remember I did a quick paragraph about this on the old Alcugs wiki ( here ). Maybe something like this would work?

Thanks guys!

Now I've got an Age I can actually walk around in. The textures are kind of borked, since the stenciling part of the First (Real) Age tutorial really doesn't translate well to 2.46. I'll have to dig a bit to sort that mess out.
