how to find the size of an object... 2004-04-27 - By Raffaele "ThE_JacO" Fragapane

Max still suffers from Autodesk heritage.
Cad started with 2D plans, so you had X and Y representing the Cartesian
Axes.
When they added a 3rd dimension it was like lofting the plans, so it was
considered depth, not height, and therefore labeled Z.
3DS for DOS had to go the same route, and MAX, to not confuse people
migrating from the old dos releases, stuck to it.
Result: max is the only artists' 3D app around, that I know of at list,
swapping Z and Y.

I am actually having a bit of trouble with the model's orientation... he is
laying on his back when i get him into MAX... not to signifigant.. but the
cord system should be same in the sense that "front" is yx plane, correct? i
actually didn't see if MAX's "front" is yx which i can do later..
ever run into this?
