Edit size of part

How do I change the size of the alarm siren part?

When I open the part the dimensions i
I want to change are not editable.

I want to use is for the vent on the back of a Heat-N-Glo gas fireplace.

They've LOCKed A & B in the parameter script. It's just as well, because the shapes are hard-coded; if you edited the height and width nothing would happen.

You would need to save a copy and put some MULs in the script to resize the model.

A cylinder object from the basic shapes would be easier, though not as detailed.

Thanks James,

Thats what I needed to know. I deleted the lock on A and B and it still didn't work.

The cylinder object will do the job. I didn't think of that.
