Just getting back into building my own scenery after a brief hiatus and it seems I've forgotten some things.

I'm using Autodesk VIZ 4 to build my buildings/scenery to proper scale and them I export the .3DS file over to gmax (ver. 1.2). Then I export the .bgl to FS2k2 via makemdl. My settings in gmax are set to meters but the objects are way too small once they're in FS2k2? I don't understand why the scale is changing. A large warehouse I built is so small that a squirrel wouldn't fit inside it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This is NOT uncommon. I have found it just best to plan on checking object dimensions anytime I move data from one modeling environment to another and when it comes to gWax or 3d Studio you need to learn to use the XForm modifier.

Thanks Firestriker. I forgot about XForm. I'll give that a try.
