Why Scaling and Dimension don't align I've created a kind of a planter using curves (this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAAnpRR2ILg)
My initial object was very small - matching my base measurements of 1mm, so I wanted to scale it up:

I couldn't find how to exactly scale it in edit mode: in the n-menu
I see nothing mentioning &quot;dimensions&quot;. Also in &quot;Object Properties&quot; - I can't find the way to scale the dimensions.
So I manually scaled it in edit mode and later made it more exact in object mode.
This changed the scale - I can't say I understand how all that scaling and changing dimensions work :-(.

Now when I set the right dimensions in the n-menu in object mode and later fix the scale with CTRL+A =&gt; the dimensions &quot;overshoot&quot; and when I fix them, the scale undershoots - somehow I can't get the right measures in 1:1:1 scale.
Can anyone please help? - what is the CORRECT way to EXACTLY size an object?
just for reference: I want an object 120X120X140 mm (XYZ) in size

For precise scaling, consider using Orthographic View and grid snapping.

Enable View &gt; Orthographic View (Numpad 5), and then choose one of views, Shortcut: ~
Enable Snapping &gt; Increment, and check Absolute snap. This will ensure snapping to grid.
The grid will scale when you zoom in and out
