I note that this is almost always wrong, will result in much slower rendering, and will result in overlaps getting reported too.

Scaling is not an absolute thing, but rather it resizes the object relative to the original size.

If I were you I'd use the in command

ok, so scale isn't a specific tool . and 'in' would definitely be specific. Thank You :smile:
