Quote - ...that said, you  don't have to scale.  not knowing what you've done with Wings, i can't say that you'd need to scale to do what you do now.  i scale because i like to use the sculpting tools, i often use remove doubles, and use mirroring and other functions that are dependent on some unit of measurement.  also, when i want to do anything precise, it's a little easier if i can work with 0.5 instead of 0.05. 

Well, so that's why I did sort-of manage in Blender without scaling. I've been able to make several items, in fact. But those things you mentioned, m, were exactly what never worked properly, and it was a scale issue.
Thanks for clearing that up... was sort-of wondering if it was cause and effect.
