.stl and .obj files come in scaled by

[conorBreen]

Hi, Every time I import an obj or stu file it comes in scaled by a factor of 10. I've looked through the preferences but I can't seem to find any settings to change. This happens with every stu and obj file.

Kind regards

Conor

The STL (and OBJ) formats are dimensionless, so you need to tell the software which units to apply when importing the file:

In this case I know the file is in millimeter, so I choose that.

Thanks Mroek, but how do I tell the software what units to apply?
Kind regards
Conor
