Thanks to the folks that responded. At least I caught it now
instead of later (aarrgghhh!). Everything's scaled now..
On another thread, has anyone had problems with Metaform
when dealing with small objects and tight curves. I've been modelling
some pretty tight corners (in the mm range this time) for
close-ups and am getting all kinds of flipped and missing polys for
which Align and it's ilk are no help. I managed to get most of them
manually but haven't had much luck on some (thankfully) non-critical
buggers. I thought about re-metaforming at a larger scale but the
complexity will still be there, just bigger <duh>. Any suggestions?
I'm not going to bring up my boolean problems with post-metaformed
objects. I've had enough of that after point-editing everything to hell.
Besides, after (insert competing product here) I have heavy-duty
experience with such troubles..

ps. Did I mention, I love LightWave! <grin>.
