3ds max 7 scale issues

uneditablepoly

I'm trying to do some things to the model I'm working on and everything I try to do to it has a huge effect on it because I guess the scale on it is very small, although I don't know how to change this. For example, if I extrude or put a modifier like Push on it and set the value as low as I can (.01), it extrudes/pushes an insane amount. What's the root of the scaling in max, basically? Do units have to do with it? Thanks.

basically in max 1 unit = 1 inch. If values of .01 are giving too large of results, your model is too small, and you should scale it up, and then run the 'reset xform' utility on it. I prefer to keep my max units set to inches, which helps me make sure I build roughly the correct size.

Thanks for the help, I completely forgot about xforms. And yeah, I really need to upgrade, just don't have the money at the time.
