Full Version: Export scale value not possible.

Hi, it seems the new version has changed something.

Most of my models in Moi3d are in Millimeters under Meter scale, and I export them to Modo, which works with centimeters. So factor on export is 0.001. However if I input the value (like I did before 4.0) Moi just put the value to 1. 0.01 works but so. (Mac Version of Moi)

PS: I use latest build (Februar 2018) and I'm on German OS. So normally I have to write 0.001 in Moi, even if OS should do it as 0,001 (no point!). If that helps.

Hi Robert, what file format are you using for transferring into Modo?

I'd usually recommend using LWO format for that, and setting the "Scale output units to meters" option in MoI under Options > Import/Export > LWO options.

Re: decimal point separator, are you seeing that MoI v4 for Mac is behaving differently than MoI v3 Mac for this? I mean does v3 display using a comma for the separator while v4 displays numbers using a point ?
