Topic: Need help w/Creo Elements5 scaling a huge assembly

Hi all,

I just started with 3d printing, and i want to print out a huge model.
With alot (100s if not thousands of parts) in all kinds of sizes, and its scaled in real size, ie the length of the whole model is 25meters. What i want is to make the whole model in 1:74 and my printer is not able to print parts with less than 1 mm,and the whole printing surface is 25x20cm.
Is it possible to scale the whole model down with CREO elements 5 and set minimum thickness and max size without doing each and every part by it self.And if so how do i go about it

Re: Need help w/Creo Elements5 scaling a huge assembly

I found out how to scale it all the parts down. But I still haven't figured out how to set min thickness and max thickness for parts. Any ideas how to do it?

edit: Well i was wrong, i could only scale the whole model but the parts didn't scale they still had the same length\height etc.:(
