How Do I Set Units In the File

R1CH1

hey Daz,

I'm pretty new to Hexagon. I made and textured my first Obj. It is a fight platform. I set the size of the primitive to 25x25 and since I also set the file Unit to feet, I was assuming it was 25x25 ft. When I load it into Daz... It loads insanely tiny. What am I not doing?

Thanks

Theres a really good explanation and answer in this thread by Slosh : Beginner Question about Size and Scale of Models

Hope this helps.

Thanks I will check out the link. So far I figured out that for some reason Daz translates my Hexagon units in meters.
So to get 23ft in Daz, I have to set my object in Hexagon to 69 units... I'm sure there's an easier way.. I'll read the link.. Thanks

Now another problem I'm having has to do with texturing, maybe I should start a whole new thread or someone can help. Does anyone know any good tutorials on how to get the UV to map right? This is the problem I'm having.

An Ex Hexagon user called Gary Miller did some great tutorials, here are the links to a tree stump project which will help you sort out the texture problem.
