Import to max maintain scale?

I'm importing FBX file from modo where i have Metric units, i have my units in max set to Metric (or meters i forget) and it keeps importing my fbx file incredibly small. Anyone have any idea what i need to change to keep my files the same size?

    I also have a metric setup in max and when I import it into the UDK mine are really huge. I have to scale mine down to 0.1. I think you need to try and import a cubic meter and find the correct scale factor. Then you either re size it in max before export or after import in the UDK (which for me seems to work best, since you keep the correct measurements in max that way = more important imo). But I don't think you can work in max with the metric system and import into the UDK with it being correct directly (unless you scale it upon export inside the FBX properties, I haven't tried that yet).
