Hi Alfred and thanks again for getting back to me and for the excellent
information.
Please excuse my ignorance as I am very new to 3D printing\modeling and I am
as old as dirt :).
I had a hunch about there being more to scaling than just resizing but I
didn't know for sure so I thought I would mention it. I am glad I did. Now I
understand scaling/triangles/ segmentation and the need to have a tool that
can properly scale cylinders and other objects.
I have been using only Tinkercad for modeling so my experience is very
limited. It has a Shape Generator feature that I played with for a few
minutes just this AM but was unsuccessful which prompted me to do a search
that landed me here. At present I do not need a particular sized cylinder -
I went with what I had and have 4 hours remaining of a 26 hour print. I
just wanted to have access to smooth shapes when I need them.
I believe I will go back to Tinkercad and see if I can make my own cylinder
shape generator. Perhaps it will be less painful than obtaining/learning a
new piece of software. I have a feeling that using multiple pieces of
software is where this is headed so if you happen to know of a good tool for
scaling that is not too complex please let me know.
Thanks again for your assistance Alfred - it is very much appreciated.
