Values incorrect when exporting a box

I created a box with a length, width, and height of 40 meters. It is located at 99.065, -0.252, 0. The exported values are incorrect. There is nothing else in the scene, no properties are set, no materials, and I set no other parameters. I uninstalled and reinstalled, no difference. Happens both with and without the hotfixes. Resetting the transforms makes no difference. It happens every time.

Here's the max file.
http://www.rakkar.org/ofusion/Box.zip

I cant open your max since mine is 3dsmax 8, but my guess is probably pivot was not at the center of the box?

Good idea. However, if that were the case resetting the transform would fix the problem. Anyways, I reset the pivot as well and the same problem still happens.

I have quite a few boxes where the symptom was as described by you. But honestly I didn't quite investigate them because I dont use boxes -> all of them are converted to trimesh/convex shapes (Ageia PhysX). Since I am not using boxes, I simply convert them all to editable mesh/polys and then reset X-form. Voila.. problem solved.

I think this may be a bigger problem. I have a case where I have 4 fighters in my game, all the same size. But when I load the bounding box in the game, 2 of them are half the size they should be. I checked probably a dozen times and am absolutely positive they are correct in MAX. Now that I saw this problem I realize with 99% certainty that oFusion is exporting incorrectly.

Bounding box is a known problem and can be recitifed by OgreMeshUpgrade.exe although Ofusion should have exported it correctly in the first place. But it is not a big obstacle for me, just a minor irritation.

Yes that is true and now I have to run the mesh upgrader every time I export. But this problem is much more serious where the values exported are totally wrong.

OK on this one the file unit scale and system unit scale were different. I still do have the problem with the fighters though.

Do you mean the AABB issues with the "fighters" objects? or are they being exported with incorrect values/positions?
