Wrong size 3D models!

Post by Smallty »

First of all, thank you very much for this amazing software.

I've downloaded a 3D model (such as the staircase) from the website and import it to my project but I've got a problem with its size: It's too small! Such as: Width: 9.832(cm); Thickness: 5.582(cm); Height: 7.748(cm).

Perhaps its original measurement is incompatible with the my PC. I'm using Windows XP.

How do I use the original measurement of the 3D models downloaded from website?

Resize it! [;)]

There's no unit in 3D model files, so the values it contains may be expressed in mm, cm, meters, inches, feet or even no unit depending on the person who design it. That's one of the reasons why there are some Width, Depth, Height text fields in import wizard.
