modular scale problem (not about grid scale)

b4der

i have problem with scaling in maya let say i have modular texture and i want to extract modular Pieces from it the question is how i can set scale for it like for example i want wall like 400 height and 600 width but the problem is i dont know how to scale it because after i exact it will have his own scale and maya scale always be 1x1x1 and i cant understand i hope someone know my question .
sorry for my bad english

What do you mean maya scale always be 1x1x1 ?
When you import it from Maya to Unreal it becomes 1x1x1 ? Then you need to change your units in Maya or import with a scale of 100x100x100 in Unreal's static mesh import settings.

i have a similar question to this, when one scales a modular piece in unreal, does it stop aligning with the grid?

It scales on the pivot point, if you have your pivot set properly it will still snap to said pivot point. But in terms of scaling so it will keep to grid sizes? I don't think so, scaling doesn't work like that.

so modular pieces supposed to be only made one size and never scaled? walls for instance?
