Hey all, many times I’ve imported models from the warehouse and the models have come in HUGE! I always assumed that was how the modeler uploaded them, not a big deal, just scale them down.
Yesterday, because it was convenient, I downloaded a drawer pull that I’d modeled and it came into my new model at 40’ 7"s. It was about 5 inches when I uploaded it. The same thing happened with a hinge I’d uploaded about a year ago. It came in at about 100x the size I uploaded it at.
Ah, ok, looking… the original you uploaded, in 2017, was that big (I downloaded it). That’s about a 100:1 scale. I don’t know why it’s that way except to say the original is that way. On a Mac, it’s Cmd-A Cmd-9 .01 save, upload, and it’s done, right?
Well Barry, you’re correct. I downloaded them into the original model and they were 100 time the size of the original. But as best as I can recall, I uploaded them from the model. Where they were correctly sized. So you’ve got me.
If it was more than a year ago, I’d say that maybe it was back in the days of KMZ uploads, or another format. Or maybe they were imported from another file format and it just wasn’t noticed at the time. But yea, the original was sized, so I wont be able to do any more sleuthing than that.
