ok, I am new to this, so how do you make a dowloaded image small enough to fit your drawing.
ie I downloaded a conveyor belt and it is huge, cannot get it to be smaller.
Thanks

Hi Mike, (and welcome)
First of all, don't talk about images as they are 2D raster images and we are talking about 3D vector based modelshere, right?
Now as for imported models; they are most probably scaled right (I mean 1:1) as you shlould aslo make your models. So first of all, make sure that you are modeling in the correct scale (1:1). To make sure, use the tape measure tool to see how big YOUR model is (I know it's all virtual but still we need a refernce to "real world" in virtual reality as well).
If something is out of scale you have two choices:
- use the tape measure tool to scale a group/component or a whole model
- use the scale tool to scale any geometry (primitive/group/component).
If the conveyor belt is the "culprit" (being out of scale) of course you need to scale that, not your model.
