Earns its spot in the superhive library by handling one job cleanly: matching an exact dimension on a chosen axis while keeping the object's proportions intact.
The Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On for Blender lets you resize an object to a specific dimension along a chosen axis while maintaining proportional scaling across all axes. The result is precise object dimensions without compromising the overall shape.
Working with it runs through a modal interface. Open the Search Menu with F3, type "Resize to Dimension", then pick the axis you want to scale (X, Y, or Z) and enter the desired final dimension. Clicking Execute resizes the object proportionally to match the specified dimension on that axis. The interface is designed so you don't need to adjust values afterward, and it supports undo for corrections.
FrancescoMilanese aims this at modeling workflows that call for precision scaling while preserving an object's proportions, such as 3D printing and archviz. Built for Blender 4.3 and listed with a royalty-free license, it stays focused on one specific task. A demo video is available for a closer look.
Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On is best for modeling workflows that need precision scaling while preserving an object's proportions, including 3D printing and archviz.
Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On is completely free to download and use.
The Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On is built for Blender 4.3, so it lines up with that release. Once active, it resizes an object to an exact dimension on the X, Y, or Z axis while scaling the remaining axes proportionally to preserve the shape. If you run a different Blender version, check the developer's page to confirm current version support before installing, since the noted Blender version is 4.3.
The Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On runs through a modal dialog. Open the Search Menu with F3 and type "Resize to Dimension" to bring it up. In the dialog box, select the axis you want to scale, X, Y, or Z, and enter the desired final dimension. Click Execute, and the object is resized proportionally to match that dimension on the chosen axis. The interface is built so you don't need to adjust values afterward, and undo is supported if you want to step back.
The Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On is listed as free in this catalog. Its license is noted as royalty-free, which covers how you can use it once downloaded. Since pricing and licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page from FrancescoMilanese is the place to confirm the current terms before you download. A demo video is also available for a closer look.
The Proportional Resize To Dimension Add-On supports undo, so a resize can be reversed if the result isn't what you wanted. The workflow is a single modal step: choose the axis, enter the target dimension, and click Execute to apply the proportional resize. Because the interface doesn't require adjusting values afterward, undo is the main way to correct a change, letting you try a different axis or dimension without leftover edits.
