>One thing to keep in mind is that the scale bar is an object in 3 dimensions, so you want it at a similar depth to your structures and maps, because due to perspective, if it is in front it will look larger, if towards the back it will look smaller. You may be able to see its depth in the Side View, or by rotating the main view 90 degrees (and then putting it back, of course), e.g. commands:
