          It seems if one length is 1000 times longer than the other lengths, it does not let you scale. If you make it so it is 50mm x 50000mm then it scales. But 50mm x 50001mm does not scale. Very interesting find.

            But strangely... after you've scaled a scalable one beyond those 'limits' it still scales OK - even when its new proportions are worse than the non-scaling version's ???

              Perhaps because the definition is still under the ratio? That is untested, just a thought.

                So to recap - if you want to scale something it must have xyz / rgb values less than 1000 different - not usually a problem ? If you want something that is going to be worse than that make it less than this proportion initially them you can scale it to beyond the limits...
                So if something is made 1x1x1000 it is unlikely to be scalable... but make it 1x1x1 and scale it x1000 in the z/b axis and it's OK and becomes 1x1x1000, then scale it again x10 it becomes 1x1x10000 which would not have been possible in the initial form πŸ˜’

                  This is ridiculous bug!

                  Is it somewhat related to SU's unit precision 1/1000"?
                  Just seem so odd to occur at exactly 1000 the scale... it can't possibly be by design, can it?

                      You cannot scale anything by 0.0001 either (you get an "invalid scale" warning)

                        True - another annoying issue.

                          Irrelevant, but you might consider adding a little post-modern detail to that otherwise pretty interesting model.

                          Forget it; I hate post-modern.
