shape is ok but screen isnt showing much

as for size, AFAIK - 1 unit in O2 is 1 meter in game, but not sure

[Chris Young 3]

Yep, 1 unit in o2 is 1 meter ingame. If you want to resize your model presse Ctrl + A (Select All) and then go to Points/Transform 3D/Scale and choose a scaling value (the same on all three axis to keep aspect ratio).

or to give you more precise control over the scaling CTRL+A to select the entire model then use CTRL+SHIFT+RMB Drag.

thank you guys and gals another quick question how do i rotate the camera in 3d window

[Jackal326 1182]

4 and 6 on the numpad pan the camera around

5 recenters

8 and 2 pan the camera up and down

Use the above in combination with CTRL you can slow the camera movement down.

man i am stupid what i ment, u know where u actully make the model i can rotate the camera so i can join the two sides together

Edit: sorted have to hold down the alt button now how do i select one side of my model

[Jackal326 1182]

Just press F9 to have 4-view mode (front to back, right to left, top-down and the 3d view. Then you can just select the view you want by clciking in the relevent view and select the points/faces you want.

I have a working Luger (grandpa's souvenir from the German occupation of WWII) if you are in need of photographs or information.
