3D Scaling


Angles1

Question

Hi,

 

Im working on a 3D model. There are some objects that i import from our custom library that do not scale at all with the current drawing I'm working on. In the OIP it shows as a 3D symbol. It appears much larger and sits in front of my other drawing. I can not it push back in prospective to sit it in my 3D building. I try to scale the object using Scale objects in MODIFY but nothing happens. However when i drag an object from a vector works library it scales perfectly on import to the drawing. Its like the object I'm having issues with has no real reference. 


Hope that makes some kind of sense. If i can clarify anymore please let me know. Its very frustrating!

Is the symbol you're having trouble with a page-based (green) symbol? It sounds like it might be. When you select it does it say Page-Based in green under the symbol name in the OIP? Here's the section about the different types of symbols from the VW help.
