I'm just learning 3DSmax (again), so I'm not sure if i have the measurements somehow messed up.I have no clue why the object is read as inches when i upload it. But when in 3dsmax the same dimensions is read as Millimeters. This is a small annoyance, if anyone can help me.
Could be there is a seperate dimensions dialog for export. If you cannot find it, rescale your model in (free, cross-platform) netfabb studio basic before uploading.
Check this: https://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=533 41&&srch=3ds+max+inch#msg_53341 (internal units is the key)
Would be nice if this could be added to the tutorials section... somehow I never can find this pic when the topic comes up in a new thread (same as with StonySmith' "your model is here" WSF block photo)...
Ya i figured it out looking in another thread of the same nature( i thinnk). i changed the units from cm(which was causing the problem) to mm(1unit=1mm)
