It would be nice if you could model and scale linked models in the four or five digits after comma range, allowing higher precision when building small items, -or- building something large and then scaling it to really small!
Thanks for considering.

While the Edit tool only displays 3 digits after the decimal point, internally these values are all represented as 64-bit floats.
In the Edit tool, you can enter precision beyond the first 3 digits, and it WILL be represented internally. You just won't see the extra digits of precision displayed in the Edit tool after you've entered them.

Ah cool. But there's still the problem is scaling down. I've modelled a gun earlier, did it at a larger size so I could easily work on it, but scaling it back didnt allow me to get the size required. At the end I had to unlink all and run all size values through the calculator, then reassemble it.

- Ace 64 bit floats really? all LSL floats are 32 bit, so it would be impossible to utilize 64 bit floats via a script. I will attest to the fact the object placement and rotation have no restrictions (or they can be worked around); aka they are not rounded.
