A few observations re: scale...
*********************************************
Using the (free) [**Wings3D**](http://www.wings3d.com) modeling software ...
Load a "Cube" and then ...
> Export it as a Wavefront (.obj) ... (filename = "wings3dCube.obj")
> Export it as a 3D Studio (.3ds) ... (filename = "wings3dCube.3ds")
Note that the cube is 2 grid lines (x axis) by 2 grid lines (z axis)
*************************************************
Using [**UVMapper Pro**](http://www.uvmapper.com) ...
Open Model "wings3dCube.obj"
Use the "Tools" >>> "Dimensions" menu and observe that the "cube's"
width = 2.00000*
height = 2.00000*
length = 2.00000*
* units
***************************************************
Using [**gmax**](http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax) (a free 3d modeler similar to 3ds Max) ...
Import "wings3dCube.3ds"
Use the "Edit" >>> "Object Properties ..." menu and observe that ...
Dimensions:
X: 2.0*
Y: 2.0*
Z: 2.0*
* units
*********************************************
Using [**Cararra**](http://www.daz3d.com/i/software/carrara8) 5 ...
Import "wings3dCube.3ds" (or "wings3dCube.obj") ...
View "Motion" (tab) >>> "Transform" and observe that ...
Size:
X: 2.00 in
Y: 2.00 in
Z: 2.00 in
******************************************
Using [**Poser 8**](http://poser8.smithmicro.com/dr/index.html) ...
Use the [menu] "Import" >>> "Wavefront OBJ..." >>> "wings3dCube.obj"
> (Note - UNcheck ALL Import Options)
Use the [menu] "Edit" >>> "General Preferences..." >>> "Interface" (tab)
>>> "Display Units" >>> "Poser native units"
Set the Scale for Poser's GROUND prop to 1250% so that
make the space between the lines on the GROUND equal to 1.000 Poser native units (Pnu)*.
(verify this by moving any object 1.000 xTran or 1.000 zTran)
The imported cube measures:
X: 2.000 Pnu (use Top camera and change xTran)
Y: 2.000 Pnu (use Front camera and change yTran)
Z: 2.000 Pnu (use Top camera and change zTran)
**************************************************
Summary: (FYI and IMVHO) ...
There appears to be a standard "unit" of measure between different 3d software programs,
e.g., Wings3D, UV Mapper, Gmax, Cararra, and Poser.
That "standard unit" is the "Wavefront Object" unit.
Note - Different software programs may define a "unit" as an inch, e.g., Cararra, or
a "native unit", e.g., Poser, etc.
