[Request] 'Mass Reset Scale'
-
I need a quick plugin that allows me to mass reset scale to all components in a model. To increase accuracy of imported models from a dwg, i make the import using Meters (dwg is in mm), so after import it needs scaling back. If I convert a group in component, it keeps the original scale (1000 times bigger). Usually I have over 50-100 entities in one import and it's a real pain to reset scale manually to all.
It would be a lot easier with an "Ctrl+A" and a right click or button push
.
The script must remove from selection possible entities that have not "reset scale" options (edges, faces, construction geometry, groups...)1000 thanks, hoping somebody will help me.

I'm using the same technique even with 3DS and vote for a plugin like this!

This begs the question, "Why not set the units to mm in 'options' before importing the DWG? ..." If you set the import units properly for each import then there is no need to rescale anything ?
-
Often with small models there are a lot of hols and broken meshes when importing. Things are much better with bigger models - so import bigger and then scale down to proper size.

I see

So why not scale up the entire model before importing, and then scale down after?

It's gonna be mess - open, scale up, save in different place, then open in SketchUP! But what if you don't have, say 3DS Max?
