| To a small extent, you can, but you have to be damn good at it. You have to know what each piece and value represents, and then you have to have a way of figuring out what values you would need. Scale would be the easiest, it's 1,1,1. If you had a way of finding out exactly which vertex was where, you can take care of translation and rotation, given you know the right rotation values, which can't be copied because the mesh is at the origin, and taking from other models would only give you the right values for that model, not the one you're working with, but if it were right to begin with, there would be no need to know anything in the first place. So to get rotation values (assuming you have a way to figure out which vertex was where, of course) you would mentally draw out the vertices and connect the dots to a point where you get a vague idea of how the model is positioned, then compare certain vertices to figure out what the rotation is going to be. Of course, you could also use Blender to draw out the model and grab data about the vertices for you.
