Hello,
I like wings 3d a lot and I use it to model figures and shapes I then print in a 3d print by exporting to STL.
The problem is generated STL always creates figures too small so I always have to rescale them in a factor of x1000 or more.
For example, using wings3d 2.2.6 I insert a cube of dimensions 2x2x2 (just the default dimensions), then export to STL and open the exported file with ultimaker Cura slicer and cura automatically scales it up in a factor of 10000% of origianal size having a cube of 200x200x200 mm
This means a scale of 1000% results in a cube of 20x20x20 mm, 100% is 2x2x2 mm, 10% is 0.2x0.2x0.2 mm and real size is 0.02x0.02x0.02 mm , too small I think
why is this? I suppose it's realated with the fact that wings3d has no real units when modeling but own unit scheme, anyway it should have a way to assign a wings3d unit to a IS unit (mm for example) when exporting to STL and maybe other formats or at least a way to select a unit mapping or set a proportion scheme for units
regards
