Thank you all for your help! I will see if I can make the adjustments as suggested. I guess the most frustrating part of this whole thing is I have used the program without this problems for a few weeks now and this issue just started.

So here is an example... I imported an obj file of a pumpkin to simplify in August. Everything went great. printed several copies :D Decided that I wanted to print the pumpkin a bit larger so I imported the same obj file only to get the message "Cannot auto arrange. Largest part exceeds build d...

The obvious thing to do would be to resize my item if I was importing it for the First time, however I'm bringing back items that I have already imported to Simplify in the past, sliced and printed.
