I don't have any experience modeling with surfaces. I received this part with about a dozen surfaces and I'm trying to scale the entire thing up, but I can't seem to find a way that does what I would expect. So far I just tried Insert > Features > Scale and highlighted everything, but that won't scale every surface the same. Is there maybe a way to combine all these surfaces into one that I could then scale?
Can you load your part for us to look at. I think you have to make the part a solid before you can use the scale feature.
Here is the model.

That's it... How did you get the surfaces into scale parameters? It won't let me do that.
In the feature: "Scale about" > origin
it´s default is: "Scale about" >centroid
Hi Greg what are your plans for this model, if you don't mind me asking? Are you looking to 3d print the parts, just for general interest. This really isn't made up of just one part but many parts(made up with surfaces). such as the wheels, tires, wings, ect.
Just want it larger scale to make an image with other parts that are to scale.
In the feature: "Scale about" > origin
it´s default is: "Scale about" >centroid
