Hy there! My question is simple : how do I export multiple models from 3D Studio Max to Poser?I know is really simple , but what I am interested is this : I have three boxes in 3D Studio Max , each of different sizes and I export them separately (each at a time , all are in the same scene) as .3ds or as .obj (the result is the same for what I am interested in) and import them all in one Poser scene.Whell , the result is overwhelming : I import three different size on two dimension boxes and I obtain in Poser three different on all three dimension boxes.Let's say they have : 1x1x0.1 , 2x1x0.1 and 3x0.5x0.1 (take note of the width of 0.1 wich is the same at all three).Whell , imported into Poser you get something like : 3x3x0.3 , 3x1.5x0.15 , 3x0.5x0.1 (all sizes are abstract , I know that Poser and 3D Studio Max have different unit systems).So , as you can see , all are relative to the highest dimension of the first imported , wich means all other dimensions are modified relative to this one.Take for example all the widths , wich are now different , altough they must to remain the same... You will say : resize them.Ok , I will do that with three boxes , wich means a lot of time to discover the proportions between them and set up a common unit system.But if there are 20 boxes?Or maybe one hundred? I know there is a way to do this better , and there is something small that escapes me.I also have Max2Obj plug-in but has not solved this problem.Maybe I am not using the right parameters?Do you use it?Wich are the parameters you use in order to correct this? Is there any other method? Best regards!

when you import the 3ds into poser, there is a dialog box that pops up with some check boxes.

uncheck the box that says "Percent of standard figure size"

this option is to resize your items to a percentage of poser standard figure size. so if you have 3 diffrent size boxes and tell it to import each to 100% of standard figure size they will all come in with one dimension the same and the other scaled up relative to their size.

Export from 3dsMax as obj with the scale factor option as 0.001, then import the obj with Poser with all options unchecked.
