Pre-Build Scenes

Thank you very much! May be in next build you make more functionality. I really like your combination of parameters in Pre-Build Scenes, but if i have big object, greater than we have in presets, then i am disharmonize all light sources. I'd love to have a directly proportional change in all dimensions of the scene. Common uniform scale for lights, cameras and platform.

Parameters

All sizes and parameters of objects you can change on an appropriate tab.
