Boundary Clamp

posted to: Importing Objects

I was wondering if we wanted to import a model that was made in metric and you are working in imperial would adding the conversion  ratio bring in the model to an accurate size? I wasn't sure why 5 was used in the explanation, other than just shrinking it down and not for accuracy.

Also, the zip file wouldn't unzip without errors. I know it's an older course but thought I'd mention it as it doesn't seem to have everything in the extracted folders.

Thanks

    I don't know about conversion, but yeah, seems like 5 was just a number that was in the ball park and worked fine. I don't see any zip files though, in the downloads there's only the video lesson.

    When I extract the .Zip, I get this:

    External Data contains Textures and Files.

    Bulldozer contains a .txt, a .obj, a .mtl and a .stl.

    What seems to be missing?

    Hi Martin,

    Yep, it's what I got when I extracted it again. All I know is when I first extracted it there several warning dialog boxes that came up which I just skipped in order to proceed and I didn't take a close look as to what they were exactly. Just thought I'd mention it in case there was something broken.
