Thanks for your response. My plan is to import objects from another software
into POV-Ray. From this software I only get a huge amount of points, which have
to meshed in POV-Ray. To change the value of one coordinate (such as the
z-value) before meshing those points is no problem. To change the whole
dimension of the objects is sadly not possible, the objects are not symmetric.
Or is there any way to shrink an object which is made out of meshed points?

I have to use these small values because I get them from the other software
where I have to use SI-units. To test my approach I used small values too. It
would be possible to multiply all coordinates with 1000 to get "normal" values.
But I don't see any advantages if I would do that. Or do I overlook something?
