However I've mad several posts over on the NWN forums about *placeable* scaling. Most people think its not easy to do.I looked for an MDL ascii converter, the guy that made it has vanished...along with the tool. There's also some resizer app, but this needs to ascii version of the file, and although he's not vanished, the tool has not been updates for years, not even sure if it works.I also did a search on the NWN directories for MDL files expecting to find 100s. There's only about 30 or so tiny files. Have they packed the MDL files into some sort of cab or something?In a nutshell you sound very experienced with the toolset. As someone coming to this new, maybe a lot of the things you take for granted are not as easy as it appears. Certainly many of the tools of been discontinued. Do you have any copies of the tools you use; as this may be the only way for people to get them now.I've also been playing with NWN2 toolset. I've had a  lot more luck since resizing anything is very easy. The only touble there is getting tilest versions with the annoying ceilings removed. These ruin the way a map looks top down.Still I'd like to continue playing also with NWN if I can, since it's so easy to "carve" out dungeons as it were, as opposed to having to "lay tiles" as in NWN2. However, without some help or current working tools to re-scale the placeables it looks as if NWN could be a dead end for most people.My efforts in NWN2 are coming along nicely however, I will likely start a new thread once I have enough to show for it. Cheers.B</blockquote>
