The scaling operation made the cube 150% larger than the original. The X, Y, and Z fields
allow you to specify exact dimensions. However, as long as the Lock Ratio field is checked, any
change made to those fields will adjust the others to maintain the same ratio.
The Shaded, Outlines, and Polygons options allow you to
change how your objects are drawn. By default the Shaded option is
checked. For most parts this is fine, but if you'd like to see detail that
the solid shading can hide, click Outlines. Models used for 3D
printing are built out of a few up to many thousands of polygons. If
you'd like to see what the polygons look like that make up your model,
click the Polygons option.

The Scale function will allow you to change the width, height and length
of the part or parts currently on the virtual build platform.
The Ratio field allows you to shrink or grow an entire model by a
specific percentage. For example, if you were to change the Ratio from 1 to
1.5, you'd see this:
The Mirror function will simply allow you to "mirror" the object along
any of the three axes. Note that mirroring the Z axis will flip the part upside
down, so be careful.
The Display function allows you to modify how the 3D View pane
operates. Show Print Bed is pretty obvious. Uncheck it and see what happens!
Shop Print Area is handy when you want to see exactly how much space your
parts are going to take up. When selected, it will display a shadowed cylinder
that encapsulates the maximum bed diameter and print height, as show below.
