If you're working in Blender and you need to convert between different units of measurement, there's an easy way to do it using the built-in unit scale feature. Here's a quick tutorial on how to use it.

First, open the Unit Scale dialog box by going to the File menu and selecting User Preferences. Then, go to the Units tab and click on the drop-down menu next to Unit Scale.

Now, select the unit of measurement that you want to convert to. In this example, we'll be converting from millimeters to centimeters.

Next, enter the value that you want to convert. In this case, we'll be converting 10 millimeters.

Finally, click on the Convert button and the value will be converted to the selected unit of measurement. In our example, the value will be converted to 0.1 centimeters.

And that's all there is to it! Using the unit scale feature in Blender is a quick and easy way to convert between different units of measurement.
