Hi Patrick,
No, I don't mind. :)
Hmmmm, that seems really interesting that your imports are humongous
and mine are bite-sized.
I'll check with the preferences as you've indicated (btw, I am using
AMAPI v.6....don't know if that makes a difference). I'll also
check the link. Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh, btw, I have tried to "open" AMAPI files straight into CS3,
however, they are worst than flea-sized...I can't see them at all!
They show up in the hierarchy and the bounding box is huge and
easily seen, but no object. It does sound like a preference thing
so when I get back to the program (I am currently on another PC
while mine is finishing up a hi-res render which has been rendering
since early this morning!), I'll check on these.
Thanks.
