Proxy does not retain proper scale - help

[Cesar R]

Hi guys, I am sure there is a step I am missing but hear me out.

I imported an obj tree into an empty scene to turn it into a proxy (mr).

 

however prior to doing so I needed to scale it down 50%. When I reload the proxy (after its been created etc), max creates it at the original size the obj was; 100% and it seems to have disregarded the fact I scale the tree.

 

Is there a solution to this?

have you set on the mesh a Reset XForm? Than is the Mesh 100% scale and you can create a proxy.

Thank, I was doing something else. I did notice I have to collapse the mesh after the xform. But it work, that you.
