Hi slayer,

If there was no difference at all with the exported mesh when checking or unchecking that option, that likely means that your units in MoI were not actually set to inches, but were either set to "No unit system" or to "Meters"...
Could you please double-check that to see if that is the case? In MoI the setting for the current units is under Options / General / Unit system.
If that's not the problem, then could you please post a sample .3dm file saved from MoI which is not going through properly when saving to .lwo so I can take a look at it over here?
I just did a quick test over here and I couldn't reproduce a problem - if I make a 900x900x900 box in MoI and make sure to set the current MoI units to Inches (this part is important!), then over here when I export that box to .lwo it seems to be working as expected - the box in the LWO file is scaled to have a size of 22.86, which is 900 inches converted to meters.
There is no way to set a "unit marker" in an LWO file to say what kind of units the values in the file are supposed to be, so as far as I know to preserve units Modo expects to have the coordinates in the LWO file to be stored in meters only.
If you set that "Scale output units to meters" option in MoI it should do that for you, but you need to make sure that your units in MoI are also set as well.
Please let me know if you still can't get this to work, and if so a sample file would also help out a lot too.
