How do enlarge an imported object?

I recently imported several parts, and I cannot figure out how to enlarge them proportionally.

    I found "Transform" and Chose "Scale uniformly", then selected "2" and clicked the check, but the imported part remained the same. It didn't scale. Am I doing something wrong?
    EDIT: I found that I had simply neglected to choose a point. I would delete this comment but I can't see a delete option.

    @kiran_ganeshan @shanshan You could remove text but in many cases it can help someone else. If anyone have this same question and finds this thread, now they are reminded to check that they did choose a point for transform.

    I'm having a similar problem but It is not showing any points that I can select. Any ideas?

    Hello @eunice_ko ,

    When the "Point" box is selected, you should be able to select any vertex (vertices of solid models, vertices of sketches, or the origin).  When you select this box, the view won't change to show you which points are available, but if you mouse over a vertex it will glow yellow to show you that it is available for selection.

    Please let us know if you are still having trouble.
