um... the ghs export (or the A-MB import) was scaling the model in strange ways when I tried it.

I will have a closer look later,

Hi TimB,

Archimedes is metric and scales the model to suit (GHS file format is imperial).

Look forward to receiving the problematic model.

Cheers

I know the GHS export in Rhino will let you adjust it, which is a good thing. AutoShip/AutoHydro uses L-T-V (Longitudinal, Transverse and Vertical) which exports to X, Y,Z.

Any thoughts?
A std system would be great but the coordinate system is immaterial as long as the system understands what is longitudinal, transverse and vertical and data exchange is intelligent.

Any further thoughts?
