+swambast Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Hi all, for some bizarre reason I just realized all my mesh units are in inches instead of meters. What is the best way to mass convert all the mesh in the file properly into meters while avoiding any scaling issues (noting I have many layers)...? Quote
+russouk2004 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Best way is to....open max...open the model......when it asks to adopt model units or rescale...... select ADOPT File units.....NOT rescale... then when model open.. go customisze\ units setup....set to metric and in same tab at top system units setup...set to 1.0 unit = metres should sort it.... just tried with a 10m box...and this way it was still 10m after changing back inits from inches to metres Edited August 17, 2019 by russouk2004 2 Quote
