Hello Dolli2, I have tried the command 3DSCALE but it seems complicated and I think that you can use the "normal" commandSCALE with only the choose of : 1 initial point and then the scale itself or :Select the object and work it directly from the properties palette ( Ctrl + 1 ) only if you want to change the dimensions in X , Y and Z with different values.

Note : there is an interesting feature included in the command ALIGN that is to automatically scale a 2D or 3D object to a special value by using 2 source points and 2 destination points and not the 3 offered.

ALIGN

When
you select only one source point and destination point pair, the selected

objects
move in 2D or 3D from the source point (1) to the destination point

(2).
