Is there any way to zero the scale dials on a smart prop so that they all read 100% when when imported from the library? I have constructed a smart prop from several separate imported object files and have it working properley no problem. The dials on each of the separates show their relative scaling so that everything looks right but I would like the dials to default to 100% when brought in from the library which at the moment they don't. Saving everything to the props library and imorting brings in the prop at the right size but all the scale dials show their value when saved and I would like it to indicate 100%. Is there any way to do this?

Export the scaled prop to Wavefront OBJ format, then re-import it with all the boxes left unchecked. That will have the effect of "freezing" the scaling you had applied, so now the scale dials will remain at 100%.

Just export the smart prop out as an obj. Now import back in and uncheck "Centered" and "Percentage of standard figure size". Now apply materials or textures, smart prop it back to the figure and save to the props library. All the dials will now be at 100%
