Help : Scale wrong after converting

[yourfather]

Hi everyone.

 

Im having some trouble with a file I converted. Heres the scenario.

 

2013 3ds Max

 

1. I converted an STEP file into 3Ds Max.

2. Everything looked great...at first.

3. I noticed that the model was no longer 27" but 1.5".

4. I tried to scale it up to 27" but the textures are a mess

5. I can not re do the UVWs because theres 407 pieces to this model.

 

Another thing to note,

After converting the file, the model became a Body Object. Before i scaled it up, i converted it to an Editable Poly. Just incase that has anything to do with it.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks.

set the system units (not the display units) to match incoming file units (or set rescale on and incoming units on import if dwg file)
