I want to Poserize an armchair that I made in trueSpace (to be put up in the Poser free stuff area), but I stumped by the scaling. I imported the model into Poser, scaled it, then exported it out as an .obj file. When I re-import it with the default options, the object is back to its old size. It's only the correct size if I import it with all options disabled. Why? I tried everything I could think of; scaled it in trueSpace, Deep Exploration, saved the scaled version to the prop library then loaded that one, exported it, re-imported it, always with the same results. I looked at a couple of other .obj files in the Geometries folder, and some of them are big when I import them, and others are the correct size. So, is there something I'm not doing (or not doing right), and does this whole thing really matter? I mean if I supply the .pp2 file and also the .obj file, and people load it from the Props library and it's scaled all right then, then does it matter if there's this issue with the scale if they just import the .obj instead of loading it from the Props library?
