Quote - Dr. Geep:

In Carrara you can set your preference for standard units (in, ft).   If you reset the preference to ft, does the cube import as 2 ft x 2 ft?
No, it still imports as 2x2x2" except the display indicates 0.17 ft (which has a rounding error - However, if you change the 3D units back to inches, the size correctly indicates 2.0 x 2.0 x 2.0" again)

Also, specifying a different overall scene scale (small, medium, large) affects several items (including the interface).???

I import 3ds object files into Carrara fairly frequently, and always have to play around until I find a conversion factor that yields a usable object in Carrara.
Sometimes that's necessary.

Finally, Los Olivos is great (I always to there at least once when in the Fenix area), although I suspect you know that.**
**Yes, it's a neat place but I don't recommend going there after dark! :scared:
Wait a minute, isn't Los Olivos in California? :blink:
