Summary:
Scaling of a previously scaled model does not have correct visible scale factors

Detailed description
If a model that was formed from scaling a generic model is rescaled, the visual scale factors are rewritten with scale values to go from the previously scaled model to the newly scaled model. BUT, for the visual objects they should be the previous scale factors multiplied by the new scale factors to know how to draw from the generic model. This makes things confusing since scaling of segment lengths is a relative operation (any model to marker-data), while the visible objects are with respect to some global/generic value.

Would be nice if the model viewer could "probe" the model for necessary dimensions of bodies and then determine the visual scale factors to draw the bodies appropriately. The advantage of this is that even if a user were to manually adjust body dimensions in the model file, the bodies would be drawn correctly.
