If you want to scale the furniture down, drag the green box inward. You can also use the numerical inputs on the right-hand side of the screen to enter the exact size that you want.
Step 5: Confirm the Changes
Once you have adjusted the size of the furniture, you need to confirm the changes. To do this, click on the green checkmark on the right-hand side of the screen. This will confirm the changes and the furniture will be scaled to the size you specified.
