Open the model, click Model, Resize, type in the new sizes, click Ok.

Thats it.

There are two ways to resize, you can resize or you can translate.
Translating means moving selected vertices or faces, which can prevent destroying the proportions of another part of a model.

For a quick example, suppose you wanted to make the post longer on this sign:

Rather than resize you would do best to select the bottom vertices of the post and translate them downward (then re-center the model).
