Thanks for that explanation! I will make sure I scale models up.

I have an additional question about units. A client of mine provides models that they create using inches. How can I import their STEP file so that the model is an accurate size to begin with? They seem to import around four times too small.

Thanks, again!

You'll need to tell MoI what units your current file is in, then when you do an import of a file that has a different unit system it will know how to size it correctly when it's imported.

To set the current units go to Options > General, and use the "Unit system:" dropdown, it's the one at the top:
