View Original Model Settings

  1. Select File> Import Status to open the Import Status window.
  2. Select the original model filename in the list.
  3. Right-click over the name in Source file column.
  4. Select Settings...from the pop-up menu.

    These are the settings that accompanied the model on import. Any edits here will affect the orientation and scale of the model relative to the scene, but will not change the model itself.

Change the up-axis of a model

If the model was built in a Y-up application such as Maya, it will appear sideways and mirrored. Use the Up-axis setting to reorient the model:

  1. Open the Original Model Settings window.
  2. Click either of the Up-axis buttons to orient your scene.

Change the input units

  1. Open the Original Model Settings window.
  2. Choose a metric or imperial setting from the Units drop-down menu.

    When you choose a new import unit, the model will be resized in the scene to match the new unit scale.

NoteChanging the import unit of the model will scale it relative to the scene, but the numeric dimensions and any transforms will be retained. The import unit can also be adjusted in the main Import Status window.
