Size changes

    Hi. A 3D designer use Inventor and export a file as STL, and he sent me the stl file for 3D printing.
    So I opened it with Simplifiy 3D, but size (XYZ) is very strange. It is much much smaller than what he designed.

    Is there anyway to fix it ?

    Re: Size changes

    It probably means they did not export the STL file in millimeters. Perhaps they used inches or centimeters instead. In that case, you need to scale by 25.4x or 10x.
