3ds Max Conversion from Inches to Meters Help

[+swambast 722]

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)...?

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

Thanks Russ, but I never get that prompt...the model just opens.
