Object Default size

I am making some objects of people imported from Poser. I successfully made one last week but when I come to do a new one today I seem to be missing a setting to ensure the "default" size of the object comes up with the sizes I want.

At the moment I get the distorted woman on the right (rather than what I want which is the woman on the left) where the A and B sizes revert to the original sizes but the height zzyzx is coming up with the correct size.




The Object's Detail and default parameter settings are below


And these are the defaults that the Object dialogue comes up with


Any suggestions what I'm missing?

Hello,

Just chance the values for X and Y -> seems that
X=500 and Y= 542 are correct compared to the
X= 95 and Y=103.

If this does not help then you could check the 3D code, there should be a line:

"MUL A/0.500, B/0.542, ZZYZX/1.107"

changing this to

"MUL 1, 1, 1"

should make the trick.


The above should be made in the 2D code too;

"MUL2 1, 1"



Hope this helps.

"Fit size to 2D symbol" is the easiest way.

Thanks guys.

The difference was that the 2d symbol had been resized in the original object but I had forgotten to do this in the new object.

A bit annoying that the default size A and B parameters you save with the object don't work but the zzyzx parameter does work weird
