Hi!

1. Maya is not an engineering software it's an entertainment software.

2. Check the export settings (units) and import settings (units) for your model.

It there are no units to specify, or the object is not created with real world units, then you have to scale the object. This should not be a problem if you know the dimensions of the object.

Hi!

Then export a model where you know the dimensions to find out where the problem is.
