When i import a spline shape into max, it usually appears tiny and has to be scaled up. When i scale it up it doesn't change its actual dimensions but jus scales the size, ssooooo when i, say extrude the shape max still thinks of the shape on the imported dimensions and will extrude it about 1mile out on one click of the spinner!

is there a way to scale an objects dimensions rather than jus the scale?



cheers

The actualy scale of objects in Max is derived from the relationship of the vertexs of the object. Go to the object's sub-object level, select all the verts and scale them there. Then you will see that if you click on it's properties, it will have scaled properly.
