I'm new to Blender and I'm following some tutorial and reading the documentation. Here is described how to rotate or scale an object.
I imported an stl file that is shown rotated of 45 degrees on z-axis. When I select, its dimensions are:
- X 201 m
- Y 201 m
- Z 15 m
This is because it's rotated of 45° as said (it's a magic wand, like a rod).
So I rotated it by 45° using the transform panel (or R
key).
Well, now it's aligned to the Y axis!
But the dimensions are still the same! I'm expecting something like:
- X 15 m
- Y 283 m
- Z 15 m
I'm in trouble now because I cannot scale it as desired. Surely I'm missing something obvious... but I cannot find it out from the documentation.
