Scaling objects

I made a picnic table(a nice one) in 3Ds max 9 and exported it as an .3DS file, then i converted it into a .fbx file in “Autodesk FBX Converter”, but when i import it into unity the texture was gone and the table was at a strange angle even though it was perfect in 3Ds max.

When i scale the table in unity, then start playing the game with the standard first person controller the table reverts to the small scale.

I has made a video:

Hi Ancel,

Although i didn’t understand your problem completely but i was facing the scaling problem with my model in Unity3.
Here is a link to that thread:
