 

MacroForms Dimensions tool allows you to do just that. 

Exlercise #2: Scale Demo 

1. activate the Tutorialz (F1 ) or (F11 ) tool 
     the Tutorialz requester will appear 
2. select Scale Demo and click OK or hit Return 
      the tutorialz requester will disappear and an object will be 
       loaded into Modeler 

Looking at this object without noting the grid size, we can't 
tell how big this object is. Typically, you would have to 
determine what the bounding areas are and perform a 
calculation of those boundaries to get the physical size of an 
obJect. MacroForm has a tool that will tell you the physical 
size of objects. This tool is Dimensions. 

3. activate Dimensions (F3) 
    the Dimensions requester will appear 

If you look at the Width..X, Height..Y, and Depth..Z fields, you 
will notice they have numbers in them. This is the physical 
size of our object. What if we wanted to change the size of 
the object to 2 inches high by 4 inches wide? Let's change 
its physical size (or dimensions) to this new size. 

4. enter 4" in the Width...X field; 2" in the Height...Y fieid 
   and click OK or hit Return 
   the Dimensions requester will disappear and return you to 
   the Modeler intertace 

Your object has changed physical size to the exact 
dimensions you entered into the Dimensions requester. How 
do we know this? Just activate the Dimensions requesterl It 
will return the size of this object to us. Practice sizing your 
object with Dimensions to get the feel of this tool. You'll 
need it in the road ahead.

Like alignment and movement, rotatlon dlrectly translates to 
our physical world, We can say things like "...turn around..." 
or "...the top isspinning..." and the person we are talking to

understand if you said "...turn around 45 degrees... ".The 
reaction would be to turn around in place as though a pin or 
axle shot through them from head to the Woor. This is a
