Microstation to 3DS7 scale

[pipjor]

I've been asked to do a animation driving down a proposed 6 mile road.

 

Questions.

1. The road was original built in Microstation, i exported it to dwg. When I import to 3DS7 the scale is huge (6miles) how can I change the scale to more manageable or do I even want/need to???

 

thanks

Hi,

 

The scaling is wrong, I assume, and not really 6 miles.

 

There is an option in the Import dialog for DWG to allow scaling of the DWG geometry. This is necessary when your scene is in Inches and the DWG is in Feet, for instance. You can also go to the Utility tab of the Control Panel, click on More and find the 'Rescale World Units' utility. Then you can scale it any way that you wish.

 

Have fun!
