The Large helmet -down to-> dimensions around Origin?ds322_helmetApprox.skp (1.2 MB)
There were two helmet components at the same position in that file. They were about 600 inches wide. It seemed you had dimensions near the origin about 6 inches wide, so I think you wished to scale the model down by 100x.
I moved one of the components off to the side, selected it, and actiavted the scale tool. Then clicked once on one of the corner scaling handles (which is a uniform scale.) Then I entered “0.01” into the Measurements box for 1/100th scale, and it became about 6 inches across.
Then I right-clicked it, and saved it out as a new component.

Thank you tremendously Dan!
I shall now proceed and incorporate it in my full file.
i was planning to eM the entire file … large size prevents that.
To facilitate viewing; it would ‘stand out’ better being RED.
What would be the most effective way to do that?
