Help unscaling a whole LDRAW technic model - SNIPE - 2026-02-17
Hi,
I have for a few years been wanting to upscale set 42145 so that it looks right with the lego dune ornithopter blades
But whenever I try by just reading the instruction manual, I either upscale only one or 2 axis and not 3, or I upscale all 3 axis but it looks weird (the wheels were way to far apart)
So, I thought it might be a good idea to have a reference model that is blown up in LDCAD
Therefore I am wondering if this is possible, or would up-scaling a part also shift its position,and then the whole model will look like a salad.
Here is the model

As simple way to upscaledo this: (I hope I got you right)
- open in LDCAD
- select ALL
- right-click > Reorganise > Move to subfile >
- just give it a name
- Main File has now only the sub file
- select the subfile, click into the coordinates
- in the matrix enter the scale that you want (instead ot th "1")
- done
LDCAD will colour it a bit different as this is the way it marks scaled bricks.
