Why your Blender dimensions look wrong 👇 Ever scale a cube in Object Mode and wonder why the edges still say 2000mm in Edit Mode? That’s because Blender keeps the original size and just multiplies it by the scale factor. Quick fix: Ctrl A → Apply Scale. Now your scale resets to 1,1,1 and the numbers finally make sense. If you’re modeling with real measurements, always apply scale — it’ll save you a ton of headaches later. | CG Cookie

Want cleaner, more accurate models in Blender? One simple trick: set up your reference images with lowered opacity and real-world dimensions. This keeps your design aligned, to-scale, and ready for precise modeling — especially if you plan to build it in real life. 🛠️ This approach is part of our new CRAFTSMAN course, where we show how Blender can be a precision tool for DIY and carpentry. ✨ Design smarter. Model with purpose. #Blender3D #PrecisionModeling #CGCookie #BlenderTips | CG Cookie
