How to measure height on a scale

broken image

Is there any way to type something in the text box to do this? I could of course draw some 10mm wide lines and scale to the edges of the lines… But I am sure there must be a better way. Imagine I have a washer… And I want to scale it so that it was 10mm across (but I didn’t care about the height, instead I just wanted it to remain in the correct proportion)… Currently I would select it… Grab one of the “corners” and drag it, but then I have to get to 10mm by trial and error. Say I want to scale an object (in all 3 planes) to a specific size (in 1 plane) is there an easy way to do it? I am sure this is an easy question, but something I have never been able to work out.
