+=====Scaling=====
-In some cases it's necessary to scale the model if the original model provided is too small. The Felsenbein model in the images is extremely small- roughly 2 cm x 2cm. The model must be roughly 1m x 1m for viewing in VR.
+In some cases it is necessary to scale the model if the original model supplied is too small. The petrous bone model in the pictures is extremely small - about 2 cm x 2 cm. For viewing in VR, the model must be about 1m x 1m in size.

-The simplest way of scaling is with the scale tool (1). With it selected you can scale on the x,y and x axes onscreen using the coloured handles, or enter a value in the dialogue box (2).

+In this way, it is possible to scale along all three axes simultaneously using the handles on the screen.
-In order to ensure that the model isn't larger than 1m x 1m, onscreen measuring is required. See "Measuring".

+Finally, the same dialogue box can be found under the "Object properties" tab on the right-hand side. Rotation and scaling can also be precisely controlled here.
+To ensure that the model is not larger than 1m x 1m, a measurement on the screen is required.
