    For example: a cube that is defined as 5.1 cm (2 in.) X 5.1 cm (2 in.) X 5.1 cm (2 in.) can be built to be 10.2 cm (4 in.) X 10.2 cm (4 in.) X 10.2 cm (4 in.) by simply changing the scale to 2. If after changing the scale to 2, you decide that a size of 7.6 cm (3 in.) X 7.6 cm (3 in.) X 7.6 cm (3 in.) would be preferred, change the scale to 1.5 - the scale relates to the original size of 2 inches, NOT the resulting 4 inches from the first scale change.
