Importing .stl file

Hello All,

I have an query when I import the geometry (.stl) having length of 314 mm in opensim, the visual coordinate axis in opensim goes extremely small. It makes me feel the geometry is extremely big but it is not.

Can anyone tell me the potential problem for this and how to solve that.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rahul

Could you check the scales around the visual object? There are two scale factors: 1) under <VisibleObject> and 2) under <DisplayGeometry>.

Thank you for your reply.

The scale is set to 1 1 1. Changing it to 0.005 0.005 0.005 make it look reasonable with coordinate axis of opensim.
Scaling it 0.005 does not make sense since the geometry becomes extremely small.

Any suggestion what can I do ?

Regards,
Rahul

I don't know what is "coordinate axis" you said. But you can visualize dimensions in OpenSim environment using any points or markers on GUI. Also you may mind OpenSim uses "meter" as length unit.

Thank you,

Thank you for your response.

I will try using any point or markers in GUI.
