FBX Model Shrinks On Import

[gamecreator]

I exported the attached FBX from Max.  On importing into the editor, it gets shrunk down greatly.

The attached FBX is simply a right triangle which I created with vertices at 0,0,0 0,1,1 and 0,1,0.  If you open the FBX with a text editor you see the points represented like so

        Vertices: *9 {
            a: -0.5,-0.5,0,0.5,-0.5,0,0.5,0.5,0

I don't know why it's off by 0.5 but whatever; the triangle is 1 wide and 1 high, just as I created it in Max.  However, when I import it into the Editor and then run the code at the bottom of this post, it prints the following:

vertex 0: 0.010000, -0.000000, 0.000000
vertex 1: 0.010000, 0.010000, 0.000000
vertex 2: 0.000000, -0.000000, 0.000000

Any idea why?  Seems like Leadwerks shrinks it to 1/100th of its size for some reason (you can't even see it in the Editor Model Viewer (which I guess could be another bug report since the Viewer doesn't zoom in properly)).

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

Model* model;


int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
	Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
	Context* context = Context::Create(window);
	World* world = World::Create();

	Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
    camera->SetRotation(15, 0, 0);
    camera->Move(0, 0, -0.3);

	Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
	light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

	model = Model::Load("Models/triangle.mdl");

	while (true)
	{
		if(window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

		if(window->KeyHit(Key::Enter))
		{
			//  Print vertex coordinates
			for(int i=0; i<((Model *)model->GetChild(0))->GetSurface(0)->CountVertices(); i++)
			{
				Vec3 vp=((Model *)model->GetChild(0))->GetSurface(0)->GetVertexPosition(i);
				printf("vertex %d: %f, %f, %f\n",i,vp.x,vp.y,vp.z);
			}
		}

		Leadwerks::Time::Update();
		world->Update();
		world->Render();
		context->Sync();
	}
    return 0;
}

Probably the file units are in centimeters?

Seems like that would make sense.  I'm going to compare this file to another one I also created in Max that imported fine.

Edit: you're right.  I created a custom shape a few days ago that was in meters and I swear I didn't change any settings (I don't even know where they are).  Maybe I opened another file before that and File->Reset didn't/doesn't change the scale?  Can be closed.  Sorry.

Edit 2: anyone else that comes across this, go to Customize, Unit Setup, then System Unit Setup button to make sure you're working in the right scale.  You don't need to resize anything, changing that setting seems to export correctly afterwards.
