Determining the Scale Factor
T-SBADV-010-002
Before importing a 3D object, you must consider the scale factor to use. This will depend on the base units of the modelling program used to create the 3D object.
How to determine the scale factor
- Create a unit cube in the source modeling program (a 1x1x1 cube).
- Place the model in the scene.
- Import the cube in Storyboard Pro, setting the scale factor to 1.0.
- Verify the scaling to see if it is correct. If not, display the grid (Ctrl+G (Windows) or ⌘+G (Mac OS X))and change the scale factor so the cube fits correctly in the scene. The resulting scale factor will be the one to use when importing models created with that particular 3D modelling application.
