Ok, did a test with Cinema 4D and Infinite here. To the right you see a group of two objects i did in Cinema 4d. Exported there as 3ds and imported into Infinite. Group is ok, even names are ok and positions too (haven't tried to texture them). To the left you see two separately imported objects. Both were saved separately as 3ds from Cinema and separately imported into Infinite. The option position and resize imported objects is switched off. Looks exactly the same to me - positioning and scaling is correct. Oh, before somebody tells me - i moved them to the left and right of course to make them visible as comparable elements. Originally both came into Vue at exactly the same position where they have been in Cinema 4D.
