Hello, I am teaching myself 3DS Max 5.1 and am currently working on my first project, modeling my truck to scale. I started with the tires/wheels and am now working on the chassis in a seperate file. I want to work on the major parts of the vehicle seperately and then merge them all together. I took measurements and lots of reference pictures. Before I started I made sure to set my scenes up using the US Standard Decimal Inches units setup and have been sizing the objects according to the real-world dimensions in inches. From what I've read, I understand that as long as the Units Setup is the same in each file, then I shouldn't run into any problems with the size of my objects whem merging scenes.
However, when I merge in my tires into my chassis scene, the tires are way too big, maybe twice as big as they should be. If possible I really don't want to cut corners and just scale them down. I double-checked, and the Units Setup is correct in both files, and the measurements are accurate. What did I do wrong? Any suggestions?
