    hiya, I'm trying to print 6 colored items and to get them to the same size I'm using the scale tool. Each time I use the scale tool it goes to some other size, for example I want 4.05 inches it comes back at 3.98 inches? Confused.
    Each item is identical model with different color, all for sandstone printing. Using Chrome.
    Cheers

    The scale tool only works in integer percentages. You'll have to use some other tool to get exact sizing.

    You might be able to use 2 or 3 different scalings to get closer to what you want. Maybe scale up larger and then lower to try and hit your target. For example going up by a factor of 1.07 and then down by .79 gives you a final ratio of 0.8453 which might be difficult to get with only one scaling step.
