Every object from the library that I bring into my scene is massive. I've got 35' high streetlamps, lol. Forest Pack Pro never had this problem.
Is there a setting I'm missing? Having to mess with a global scale every time is going to be a pain.
Tnx

The library objects should be scaled automatically. Please, tell me your Max version, units setup and the exact streetlamp model you are importing.

Hi, using Design 2013, 64bit.
Units:
System Unit is 1unit to inches.
Display is set to Feet with fractional inches.
Doesn't seem to matter if I change my system units to centimeters or meters - the problem is the same.
All RailClone objects suffer from this issue. For instance, the picket fence is coming in at 10' high. :o
With this setup I've never had an issue with ForestPack Pro...
-
It works fine here, the picket fence has 1.27m height (about 4.1').
Please, select the RailClone object, press F12 and check if it's scaled. If not, reset Max, create a test scene using the picket fence, and send us the file.

Reset the scene. Same problem. I'm sending you a download link.
Tnx

Ok. The object in your scene is wrong scaled, but if reload the fence from the library (using the same units) it is loaded correctly. This seems a problem specific to your configuration, but not sure what.
Please, do the following test:
1) Reset Max. Load the scene C:\Program Files (x86)\Itoo Software\RailClone Pro\lib\default1\Architecture\Fences\Vynil\fencing_vynil1.max. If the Units are different, select Adopt the File's Unit Scale.
2) What is the size of the picket fence (_RC_fencing_vynil_4) ?
3) Does it change repeating the process but selecting Rescale the file Objects to the System Unit Scale ?
4) Reset Max and merge all objects of the above scene. What is the result ?
5) Send us the file 3dsmax.ini stored at C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\2013 - 64bit\ENU
One more question: what Max update have you installed, PU6 ?
Thanks,

I reset, loaded the scene as instructed.
The height of the fence is 315cm or 10'-6" high! This was after a reset. I did notice my display units were set to Metric, but System Units remained as inches. Once I changed inches to cm, the height was correct at 124cm.
I never get the 'Rescale the file Objects to the System Unit Scale' option. Ever.
Merging was fine.
The .ini file settings I think you are looking for are:
UnitType=4
UnitScale=1
Tnx

Ok, i can reproduce the problem here:
Please, check the "Respect System Units in Files" checkbox, if your System Units configuration: it must be enabled. That should solve the problem.

LOL. Jeesh, I don't know how I missed that. hah. Tnx for the patience and assist!
