I dont entirly understand what your talking about. But I think all you have to do is add the Wampa msh and tga files into your CIS msh folder. Then go into the SBD ODF, and change the SBD model stuff to the Wampa model stuff. You might not understand that. I don't have the mod tools on this computer right now so I can't post an example of what to change the ODF to. Sorry.

i already no all that. but what im trying to ask is how to scale a model. for example i want to make a SBD from 1.5 metres to 2.5 metres.

i just want to scale

Ok. Then I think that is impossible without editing or creating a new model. I think there may be a way. I just do not know it. Maybe someone else will post here that does.

How about looking into the Wookie...?

the .odf scales up the skeleton and collision. and if it doesn't scale up the model itself right, look into the Wookie's .MSH.OPTION* file

it SHIULD be written in there

Open up the .MSH.OPTION file of the MSH you want to change and then add -scale [number you want it to be multiplied by]. So if you wanted the model to be twice as big you would put -scale 2.0. I'll warn you though, it's not going to look as good as you expect it to be. Chances are that if the model is a unit it will grow far more outwards than it will upwards. If you want it to look good you'll have to make a new one in XSI/modify the MSH.
