Hi Jason, that's a feature of Max's import obj script, see here for how to disable the normalization scaling:

I don't know why, you would have to find out from Max.

Thanks Michael. I should have done a more thorough search...

Thanks for the link.

Jason

P.S. I have the "impObj exact" now working as a short cut but I'm not able to find the same command that's being issued using max's impObj menu button. Is it using impSubDiv perhaps?

Hi Jason,

I don't think so... What version of CustomUI and MoI are you using?

- Michael

I believe latest version but it's a bit of a blurr as I've added dark gui etc. on top. But this command should reside either in native program files or %appdata%

C:\Program Files\MoI 4.0 beta Feb-27-2019\..

I find the following using search of *imp*

Import.js
ImportPart.js
ImportSubD.js

%appdata%\Roaming\Moi\..

I find the following using search of *imp*

_ImportObj.js (which is v.1.5)

Hi Jason, maybe it's easiest to modify the _ImportObj.js file to always do "exact" mode and then it wouldn't matter how you were launching it.

To do that, edit the file _ImportObj.js in a text editor, then on line 10 there is currently this:

if ( moi.command.getCommandLineParams() ==='exact' ) { moi.ui.commandUI.normalizeObj( false ) } else { moi.ui.commandUI.normalizeObj( true ) }

Delete that or comment it out by putting in a // at the front of it, and then have this instead:

moi.ui.commandUI.normalizeObj( false );

- Michael

Thanks a bunch for that code Michael. Works and doesn't throw an error leaving "_ImportObj exact" as a command input either for hotkey.
