Hi!

I am using viz 2007 and I am wondering if there is any way to set exact dimensions to objects?

Example: I have an object that is 198,78cm(or whatever unit) wide (x-axis)and I wan’t it to be 83,65cm.

Is there any way I can just type in 83,65 in somewhere?

only on a parametric object (primitives and shapes) or modifiers that have values.

You can draw a rectangle to the correct dimensions and snap to it when editing your object.  THere is also a Tape Measure tool.
