Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Problems with Importing and Scaling

My friends and I are working on a really sweet animation project. They modeled and rigged some characters and props; I was in charge of the office setting they're supposed to go in. When I imported though, the scale was off by a ratio of about 3 or 4. My scaling tool works poorly; any tips on how to improve?

Thanks!

Group everything in the scene you want to scale and then scale the group. If you just select the individual objects / separate groups it will scale around their associated pivots.
