Hello Dolli2, I have tried the command 3DSCALE but it seems complicated and I think that you can use the "normal" command
SCALE 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

Quick Reference

Aligns objects with other objects in 2D and 3D

Menu: Modify ➤ 3D Operations ➤ Align

Command entry: align

Select objects: Select the objects to align and press ENTER

ALIGN Using One Pair of Points Specify first source point: Specify a point (1)

Specify first destination point: Specify a point (2)

Specify second source point: Press ENTER

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).

ALIGN Using Two Pairs of Points Specify first source point: Specify a point

(1)

Specify first destination point: Specify a point (2)

Specify second source point: Specify a point (3)

Specify second destination point: Specify a point (4)

Specify third source point: Press ENTER

Scale objects based on alignment points [Yes/No] <No>: Enter y or press ENTER
