Newbie question - Model size

[Bugeye]

Hi all new to this 3d stuff and wondering about the size of my model. When I export it and open in Cura it is very small and not to the scale of what I need to have it printed. I'd like it to be the actual size of the original object. I'm sure I am missing something.
TIA

Hi Bugeye,

all reconstructions are initially in an arbitrary scale. You will need to scale your model to a known measure (that could be on the model itself).

You can do that very easily (and accurately) with control points (Pro,Aerial) or you can also do it quickly with the measurement tool https://www.3dscanninghacks.com/wiki..._Free_And_Lite (available also in Free/Lite)

Also remember that in case you have used geotagged photos (for example if you used your phone) zephyr will save coordinates in double precison, so make sure that you export in local coordinate system as not all other software supports double precision.

THanks for the reply! I will try that.
