Simplify3D User Forum

My current work flow is a build my 3d model in Modo, save it out as an OBJ file. Bring that file into Zbrush to make it watertight and reduce the polygon count and save it back out as an OBJ file.
When I import that file into Simpilfy I always have to scale it up to 100000% to get it to the correct scale.
Is there any way to have Simplify do an automatic scale by X amount when importing?
Thanks,

This video covers how to set that up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ytvwfCn5g

I believe the reason you need to scale your models by such a huge # is because you are exporting your model in Meters, not Milimeters when creating the STL file out of the CAD program.

Thanks for the video link. For some reason .Stl files out of modo are still screwy but I think it's a bug in modo.
I can get it to work with .obj files correctly though. If anyone is having a problem with modo files let me know and I'll try to help you out with it.

That's going to make my life so much simpler - that's for the youtube link! I used to have to scale every model I imported
