I have been using poser en DAZ figures for medical animations. I'm new to Carrara. I'm trying version 6 and considering buying v 7.
I opened one of Carrara's prebuilt scenes (office) both at 30 ft and 300 ft and then opened Victoria 4.1 from the Contents folder. Victoria ended up beiong a giant (only the feet fit into the room).
Is there a way to use this prebuilt scenes in Carrara with DAZ people? That would make my work much easier.

I just use the middle size as standard/default.

Changing the sizes of things, like Viccky etc is pretty simple.
Just change the percentage size of the item in question.
Sometimes they read a lot more than 100% also.

 Hi AO,

The Carrara prebuilt scenes were actually created prior to Scene Scale in Carrara was offered. So, by default, the scale is incorrect. The easiest way to fix this is just as Brian indicates, grab the scale handles or change the numeric settings. 

While you can change the scene magnitude in the scene settings after a file is open, all that does for you in change how the atmospherics interact with the scene. It won't have any effect on placing/importing figures. :-/

Thank you both, I can now have the figures to the size I want. I just got my download of Carrara 7 which I think will be much better to work with than Poser or DAZ Studio.
