3ds max and unit problem.

wirrexx

Hey guys, need some help.
was working on my 3ds max, when it suddenly crashed.
Upon starting it up again. it fucked up all my custom UI.

So re-doing everything and opening up my scene, i noticed an error causing my correct scaled meshes, to be incorrect.

For ex. everything was fitting to the grid and my char in env. was 183 cm. 
Now suddenly opening up the scene, the characters height is 118 cm, and importing my meshes to UE4, they suddenly are extremely small compared to before.

Did you check your customize>units setup>system unit setup ?

Noors, indeed i did, both are set to cm. But i had to go to world rescale and scale everything manually again.

Unless you forgot to reset x form after scaling before crash there is a possibility of your mesh data (max file) going haywire and only alternates you got are maxbackup or reimport everything in fresh scene resize adjust whatever you want to get right scale and reset x form>editnormal>normal>collapse all.

HAWK12HT fixed it with the world scaler in 3ds max. 
Opened up the UE4 character in another scene and saw that he was 182.53 cm in total.

My UE4 character in my scene was only 92.5
So taking 182.53/92.5, i got 1.97.

So using the world scaler in 3ds max, i selected my mesh and multiplied it with 1.97. And everything aligned back to the grid.
