Standalone Furniture Library Editor Issues?
I did this back in September so I forget the website these models came from. But the issue is this:

When I import some models' .obj file from the Standalone Furniture Library Editor, everything is off.

For one: Who ever did the model did it in inches, but the Standalone Furniture Library Editor thinks it's in feet.

For two: The X/Y/Z Axis are wrong; the modeler did the model in one direction, but the Standalone Furniture Library Editor thinks its in another. Thus making a size adjustment to the object and is gets distorted on that one axis. This is harder to explain but I'll try to put it this way:

X Axis is for Left and Right. Z Axis is for front and back. Both makes a Horizontal Plane. Y Axis is for Up and Down which with X or Z makes a Vertical Plane. But some programs switch Y and Z or X and Z.

So when I make a change to the Y Axis on Furniture, when the Axis are swapped by either program, the Furniture gets distorted.

I remember my very first imported model was a Smart Cart. Both problems were apparent. I ended up with a 200-something foot Smartcar as a furniture piece. It was 4 times bigger than the house I was creating! It took me a few days to get it right, and I had to go to the Smart Car Website to get it's actual measurements and apply it to the furniture import; but it came out distorted as the Axises were swapped. So I took and played around with the numbers and swapped them about into other Axises. It took a while but I got it right.
