Hi all

Im new to vue and to this forum, and Im hoping someone can help me.  its about relative scale.  In vue when I build some terrain there seems to be no measurement representing scale?  I just built a mountain range with a gorgeous vally full of trees, then imported a chemical vat from AC3D which should have been 2m tall, but in the image its larger than the mountains!

is there any way I can build the environment in a relative scale? so I can import buildings etc that I build separately and not have to resize everything manually?

cheers

Hi Steven.

you can look into the Vue preferences. There you will find a button about resizing and rescaling for imports. You should click that off and your external buildings will come in as you have built them.

You have not said which Vue version you are using. In Vue 6 you can use World coordinates and there building scenes in a constant scale therefore is easier. But in general Vue is more an illustration program than a simulation one and therefore the focus is/was not so much on scaling so far.

thanks, I have tried that, it made little difference :(  I would have thought a program as stunning as vue would have had scaling as standard? esp as its used so much for film and animated environments.  I am hoping I have just missed something huge.  incidentally Im using vue5 at the moment, until I can afford to upgrade.
