Why is my part so big?

[SiliconPyro]

I am using Blender to model. I set my units to metric and made a 1m diameter cylinder, which became the body for an SRB. When I got it into KSP, after keeping the scale in Blender and Unity at 1, it's bigger than an orange tank. What is causing this?

I would just change the scaler to 0.5 in the CFG to fix it.

Are you sure is 1 meter diameter? I got confused first time in blender because when you create a cylinder the left panel ask you for the radius, so if you input 1 meter is a 2 meter diameter wich is bigger than the orange tank:

the orange tank should be standard size 2 ?

Also check the scale when importing inside unity

Radius, not diameter. This is why I shouldn't make parts at 2 a.m.

Thanks, guys.

http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Radial_size seems like something useful for making parts the correct size that you intend.

That is what I was just searching for. Thank you very much!

Ah much useful link this seems more up to date, often the wiki is missleading and hard to find the correct info

Yep. It was fun the first time I got it correct, despite the 'less dependable' info out there.
