Hey TIG. I was just discussing how a uniform scale to volume plugin would be useful and you've already done it!! haha great work!
Would it be easy to edit the code to create a scale2surfacearea plugin?
Some 3D print materials such as ceramic are charged by surface area not volume you see.

Like this, but for multifaces?
