Thanks, Evanara! Good explanation as well. I'm glad I asked now because it's troubled me for a long time - I've been tripped up by the actual simplicity of it. Mike comes into Carrara at 2533.25x his P4 scale - which is bigger than it needs to be in Carrara and fit in its modelling workspace - so knowing I can just scale him down and then model proportional around him and fuss later is perfect (or what I called 'carefree' in my other post). Thanks, folks! : ) Dave
