    44If it's going to be a lot of work, then I suppose I wouldn't bother.

    23 Comment (by Tom Goddard):
    24 
    25  A scale option would be possible but is a good bit of work.  There are
    26  several scene export formats, x3d, gltf, stl, obj, vtk, that often
    27  assemble coordinates in many routines many levels deep in the code.
    28  Possibly some formats (x3d, gltf) could set a top level scale matrix but
    29  there is no telling whether a Blender file reader would ignore that.
    30 
    31  Could you explain what it is the problem in Blender working with a scene
    32  10,000 meters wide?  Also could you explain why it is hard to scale in
    33  Blender if you have 10 separate models -- wouldn't you simply import them
    34  all and apply a global scale factor?
