Hi all
What system units do you usually set max as? (the default is inches)
In archviz we usually set it mm (some srange reason some people set it to cm)
I purchased some character models and they were in cm
I had some demo/free Axis things, and they vary from meter to cm
So, what do YOU use?
default inches
mm, typically I do product viz, about the size of a car and down.
I’m using cm, because with mm you are getting into rounding error territory with large scale archviz projects.
cm, which is what most architects use here anyway.
mm, sometimes metres depending on scale.
cant stand feet/inches, such a ridiculous system.
meters for me. I have scenes with scanned context models 1kmsq so anything less is dangerous.
our architects here use feet and inches hence why i never changed the default settings
Meters here.
cm 'cause mm is to small and m is too big. 
so then do you guys set your display units to match system units?
i work in feet and decimal inches
I do images about shops and my unit is cm.
Meters too big, mm to small.
Display unit is the same.
Meters for system units, mm for display units here
I’m getting very good results now with system units as meter and display units as mm
hmmm interesting. I just now saw that Kelly Murdock says in his 3ds Max Bible, that most game engines work in meters. So if you’re creating assets for games you should set your system units to meters.
I thought I had read somewhere that the simulation stuff (Cloth, etc.) was made to work with the system units in cm.
