Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 02-28- 12:40 PM The scale (by default I believe) is in feet. I know I didn't change anything in mine and when I use the tape measure "helper" the measurements are in feet. Just make sure when you export your OBJ files that the vertex scale is 1.0 IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 02-28- 01:26 PM spanky here... Thanks for the info man. Any other basic Max tips you have to pass along? How do you use a background? with the viewport background or pasting your drawing on a poly? IP: Logged
JT Pilot	posted 02-28- 05:17 PM I use Max 2.5 and I had to change the scale. It's under preferences.... change it so it says 1 Unit = 1 feet. To get blueprints down, I usually just create a rectangular poly and then just texture map it with the blueprint. Use the "bitmap fit" button to make sure that your blueprint isn't getting stretched out.... it's near the bottom of the UVW map panel. IP: Logged

JT Pilot	posted 02-29- 09:13 AM Do you have the manuals? It's kind of difficult to explain it to someone without using diagrams and pictures. IP: Logged
