Each side on the pentagon has to be 1 3/4ths of an inch but when the shape is uploaded, the measurements are coming up much closer to 2 inches.

I can't get a hold of the guy right now and I was just wondering if anyone knew what the problem could be. I was told it was made using inches as the units but have tried all the other units available on the site and still no luck.

There's a link to the file itself if that helps.


Thanks for any help guys.]]> Neurodeliri 2013-02-22T16:52:10-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62614&th=12992#msg_62614 Download your model. Get a copy of http://www.netfabb.com/basic.php it's free.
Just click on the icon that looks like a ruler. You can measure your model here.
If it is the wrong size just scale it in the axis you want.]]> JACANT 2013-02-22T18:59:12-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62619&th=12992#msg_62619
I'm pretty inexperienced with these programs, how do i rescale it?

In Netfabb.
Goto Part - Scale.
In Scale parts, untick equally
In 'X' and 'Y' paste answer
Hit Scale
Measure Part to check
You will now have to export this.
Goto - Part - Export part - as STL
Upload this new file.

That is assuming the model is flat with 'Z' up

If the model is not laying flat just rotate it to suit. So the flat face is up 'Z'
If you want you could send me the file by PM or my email address.
