Hi Michael,

>>I guess my ideal recommendation for something of that size would be to do it in centimeters and have values that maxed out with numbers like 300 and details at 0.1

Ok, So if I model scaled down, say 1:10 of the size I want, then after finishing that model could I scale it to actual size for export ?

Yup, that would work fine.

If you have your units set (under Options / General / Unit system) to Centimeters, then you can scale your model before exporting by just switching that to Millimeters - that will do the scaling for you unless you have turned "Scale on unit system change" off under Unit options.

You can also scale everything to a particular scale factor by using Transform/Scale. To do that, select all objects, run Transform/Scale, type in "0" <enter> to pick the 0,0,0 origin point as the scale origin, then type in your scale factor for example 0.1 to scale by 1/10.
