/3/ - 3DCG

the bit you said about object mode scaling confused me. i still dont understand entirely why moving or scaling an object in either object or edit mode can do totally different things.

i just want to be able to make my objects a specific size using standard units of measurement, so when i export them to a 3d printing slicer program i dont accidentally make something thats a random size.


if i hit N in object mode and in object mode,using the window n gives me, enter in a new number, like i did here, with 8 inches by 8 inches by 3 inches, what does this mean? It changed the size but when i export this model to another program, will the program read this data and say "oh i know exactly how big to make this object"?
