Quote - If you look at the actual size of the V4 .obj, she is .763" tall. It is well known that she is rather tall for a woman. I arbitarily say she is 5'-10" or 70" tall (full scale)

.763/70=0.0109 or 1.09%

You can test this by importing the V4 figure duplicating it and make the copy 70" tall.

Scale this to 1.09% and you will see that both figures are the same size. If you construct your buildings in Max at full scale then scale the output files to 1.09% for use in Poser.

Lets say you build them at 1"=1foot scale which is 1/12 scale, then 70"/12=5.833

.763/5.833=.1308 or 13.08%

Many thanks. I'll try this out in just a few minutes. Should my unit setup in 3DS Max be set to a certain metric? I currently have it at 1 unit = 1.0 feet, but I'm not sure if that's right.
