Can't Change Dimensions of Shape in Any 3D Modeling Software including so far:

TinkerCad
SketchUp
123Design

I'm about to try others but expect the same issue.

What am I missing here?

... ?

What are you trying to do? STL isn't really an easily modified file format.

Yes, what are you trying to do?

If you just want to change the global scale of a part, all slicers can handle that. In S3D, double click on a part on the bed or in the model list to access the parameters panel that will let you scale it.

Whoa, this post was forever ago and I sincerely apologize for not getting back to it sooner. This was just a month or so after I had my MakerGear M2 V4 and was a complete noob. Thanks for keeping up with me. (Yes, I can now change the shape of printed objects). Lol.
