Fbx from softimage to max , give me different scale

[KLONOA WORKS]

Hi,

I finish a small room and I want to give it to my friend he is using max the problem is, the scale is different .
I am using human reference that my friend gave me .

but when I import it to the max the room scale small and the human reference big .

if I export and import as Obj the scale is fine

so why the Fbx not give me the same result when I export it as obj ?

By default FBX will consider 1 centimeter in Max = 1 SI unit. If you want something different then that you can, under options, set the scaling to manual and have that changed to 1=10 or 1=0,1 or whatever suites you best.

so you mean Fbx in max =1 cm = 1unit which mean 10cm in SI .

anyway I only change the system unit setup in max from inch to cm

and its work

thanks alot I was bit confuse you save my day

We've spent countless hours trying to figure out how it works, but I'm still not entirely sure.

We use meters in Max. To get there, I model "1 unit = 1 meter" in SI. But when I import into Max, I have to specify the FBX units as centimeters in the import dialog. For some reason, that way the scale is correct.
