Can we get an STL loader with a scale input

Can we get an STL loader with a scale input

When we import an STL file, we really should have a gui popup asking which scale the file should be imported as.  Modo and Blender both have these and it's really strange how Autodesk is associated with CAD, but Maya doesn't have a scale gui to set the size of the incoming file.

Status changed to: Implemented

Support for setting units/scale on input was added in Maya 2026.  Use the new unit conversion dialog to import and export STL files. Data will convert to or from Maya as expected when using these conversion options. Since there are no predefined units in an STL file, these options let you set the units that Maya needs to use.
