Here's a better question:

I have my unit setup at 1 unit = 1.0 feet in 3DS Max. If I create a geometry object from scratch, what should my export scale be? Afterward, when I import the geometry into Poser, should I simply import at 1.09% of the original figure size?

I see that when I create most anything in 3DS Max, it always ends up extremely large when imported into Poser, and I do see the point in reducing the scale. The numbers are just conflicting somewhere here, because when I tried 1.09% myself, the object I created ended up too small when I imported it into Poser at 1.09%. I'm pretty sure there's something I'm not doing right.
