I’m a old table top war gamer from way back, and anything that can combined my love of that and my love of 3D modelling gets my vote. I too would like something that could control dimensions and scaling in Blender a little bit more precisely. I come from a technical drawing background and have used serval types of CAD packages. One of my favourites is the program “Rhinoceros” (CAD and 3d modelling mixed into one). There has been talk about a CAD supplement for Blender in the past but the project seems to have died. I haven’t heard anything for awhile. The only thing I have found that might be of help is this Caliper Script. Check it out it might be of use. http://www.blendernation.com/2006/05/06/cad-tool-caliper-script/ I love the project.

This game stuffs looking good. @Freakydude well thanks, I have no MAX just a couple max files, oh well, I guess.

By the way, is this project going to be WWII only, or are you going to do more modern stuff too?

Check <a href="http://www.blender.org/tutorials-help/tutorials/tutorial-folder/3d-walkthrough/" rel="nofollow">this page</a> for a brief explanation about Blender Units. =) Great stuff by the way!

I wonder if any plans for future releases will address the issue of scale. But anyway, sweet deal! This is looking cool. :) I myself have wondered about building things to scale in Blender.
