Scene scale

Should the scene scale still be at .025 (for those of us who work in inches) or be set to "1" (not 0.1) per the latest documentation?

I tried exporting a cube to .mxs at the different scale settings you mentioned, then opened the file in Maxwell Studio. I compared the known size of the cube to the graphic grid.

The result I found is that using 0.0254 as the scale gives me a direct correspondence between formZ and Maxwell. (i.e. a 39" cube in formZ shows up as approximately 1 meter in Studio)

It does look like the .025 (which NL said should be the scene scale setting if we're using inches) is still the correct one coming out of the FZ plugin. Interestingly enough, that same scene that was set with the .025 scene scale inside the fz plugin in reads a scale of "1.0" when the mxs file is imported into studio.
