      Evening chaps,

      Been playing around with importing models in .3ds from 3darchive. I've not had much experience of importing them and they are all coming into SU with various problems - missing geometry, missing faces etc.

      Is there a 'best practice' for importing such models to eliminiate/minimise the issues above?

      Cheers,

      Lee

        Scale. Try importing at ridiculous sizes and then resizing after cleaning them up.

          Ahhhhhh, thanks mate. Changed the scale units to metres and works a treat. Much obliged.
