I am creating a model for 3D printing, I have created it to the exact dimensions. When is subdivide the mesh is shrinks a bit, due to the subd algorthim. To get it back to the proper dimensions I have to just eyeball it...which is a trial and error thing because this model requires a high degree of precision.
Is there a way to re-scale the model back to its exact dimensions?
Thanks,
Ryan

hi,
well, if you modeled it and the outup was Subd, why don't you modeled it WITH subd to have the exact dimensions ?
In fact i think you need Nurbs modeling for extreme precision...
