"I agree with Burrman -

Even though MoI is intended as a fast concept modeler rather than a CAD system, even an artist will have certain base dimensions in mind when drawing a car, a building, or a product.

Let’s say I'm designing an iPod and I start with a 2" by 3" LCD display. I want that LCD rectangle to show as 2 x 3, regardless of its orientation. Now I want to play with my design and try another screen size - so I edit the screen rectangle to 3" by 4". I would want to select the rectangle, change the size, and not worry how my drawing is positioned.

Same idea would apply to changing the size of doors and windows in an architectural drawing to standard dimensions."
