[Solved] Scaling things correctly.

[Hyomoto]

I'm using blender and I've created a model at the scale I presume I want. My piece, in blender, reads as being two meters tall. Sounds good, export to fbx and load it up in unity. It is now absolutely tiny. Hmm. So I rescale it to be, once again, what I expect to be a reasonable size and export and set it up to appear in game. It is, once again, extremely tiny.

So, what's the deal here? Is there some super amateur mistake I must be making for this to happen? My config is:

	MODEL
	{
		model = Hyomoto/Parts/antennaBlade/model
		texture = Squad/Parts/FuelTank/MK1Fuselage/model000
	}
	scale = 1
	rescaleFactor = 1

I just don't see why it isn't working properly. I thought I followed the various guides, but beyond setting up your work environment to use the correct size, there isn't a lot of information how to size things. Or at least my search couldn't turn up anything specifically on this topic.

EDIT: Yes, it was. It turns out the rescale in Unity was set to 0.01. I'm leaving this here in case someone else makes this same mistake.

Solved.

Unity imports .fbx files at 0.01 scale by default (!!!) When you first load the .fbx into Unity check the Inspector window and look for the model tab. The scale should be at the top, change it to 1 then hit apply down at the bottom.

Many thanks, this was exactly the problem.
