Cleaning datafile through saving and reopening !!! only works if .blend file previously saved

helpers

action

Delete scene before running script

Generate the meshes twice -> repetition

for i in range(10):

Rescale everything

bpy.ops.object.select_by_type(type=item)
bpy.ops.transform.resize(value=(0.5, 1, 1))
