| There are two dialogs available in the **Tools** menu that handle these issues: **Scene unit conversion** and **Arbitrary scene scale**. Both can scale the whole scene at once, including the tree itself, forces, and other objects in the scene. | There are two dialogs available in the **Tools** menu that handle these issues: **Scene unit conversion** and **Arbitrary scene scale**.

| Another option for scaling between units is in the export dialog. In this way, you can use one unit in the SpeedTree Modeler and convert the model when moving to another application with a different scene unit. Unlike the scene scale tools which can subtly change small things, this method of scaling will not change your model at all, as it is just applied to the outgoing geometry itself. | Another option for scaling between units is in the export dialog.
