Most of us know the System Unit Scale must be 1 unit = 1 metre for Gmax to successfully export to FS.
Some recent posts talked about problems with building work in other software and then exporting to Gmax only to find problems with units being in feet or inches.
There is an easy way to convert this work once in Gmax.
If the work was modelled in (say) inches and is displaying correctly in Gmax
with the System Unit Scale set to 1 inch,
then open a new scene with System Unit Scale set to 1 metre
and make sure Automatic Unit Conversion is ticked.
It's on the Preferences/General tab, just below System Unit Scale.
Now merge the imported work to this scene and Gmax will convert the inches to the correct fractions of metres.
Simples!
