ZBrush Decimation Master is Decimating my Scene Scale

Fireseed

So as the title reads w/e I Decimate a tool in zBrush it changes both the scale and position of the tool making it unbakeable seeing as it then does not line up with my low poly mesh. The first picture is a shot of the mesh inside of ZBrush and the second is a shot of the mesh imported into 3DS Max. Note that the Belt in 3DS max has not been decimated and is why it's scale remains untouched (I would just import the meshes w/o decimating but that's far too many polys). Does anyone know how to circumvent this?

Is the second shot in max? You can play with the export settings at the bottom of the tool menu in ZBrush. To get the right size in your other app it helps to set up a cube at the right size and position and then alter the export values till you have a good fit. GoZ respects those values and when you export the high poly from ZBrush ant the low poly from your alternative app you will be able to bake textures because both meshes will be in the same space.

you should bake layers first, then decimate tools.
