| Hi folks, My search is not finding a WGAN topic on this: I am importing 3D files from Matterpak (typically OBJ file format into CAD software(Vectorworks)). For the upload process, I am prompted with a choice for the type of UNIT (millimeters;Centimeters;inches;feet;miles)to be used and it seems no matter which I choose, the model that imports is NOT accurately depicted based on its actual size. Any idea how I achieve a 1 to 1 scale to represent the actual size of my models??? In my experience if I am uploading a CAD model from any type of architectural source (like an AutoCAD DWG or DXF file) it too asks what units that the imported file should use but that has no bearing on it's actual size, it's just what units of measurement you want to use. Those files can be scaled but are still based on an accurate measurement, true to reality. What simple thing am i missing??? Best, Todd |

| It is meter in the obj file. 1.0 in Matterport obj file is 1.0 meter. |

| Thank you JuMP! Just imported a new model using the meter Model Space Unit and that worked fine. | ||
