eXtrudy is an assistant to create things with 2D characteristics in a 3d world. This applies mostly to jewellery, coins, medals etc.. The tool is not able to create real free form 3d objects, but the results should be always printable. Thus it is some kind of 2.5D tool - but for a very special purpose and not for design in general (like professional software as zbrush etc.)
1. Before the last stage the corrdinate system works mostly in pixels. The tool is not meant to allow precise constructions or measurements. Only the last stage should help you to set the volume and bounding box straight. If you need exact scaling, you might post-process the object in another tool like netfabb, meshlab or blender.
2. the metric system rules ;-) - no seriously - at the moment I don't have time for that.
3. You could create a duck-like object with a simple silhouette a a very curved surface profile - maybe add an eye as decoration element. But with the 2.5D you could not model a free from like the mouth or a neck - see the pictures

4. maybe later - can't promise...
Please explain to me how to...
