custom object saves differently!

[Anonymous]

i've been wrestling with a custom object. i create it, save it then when i place it the dimensions are screwed up. see the attachment. in this case it's not a big deal, but if i need something that is to scale obviously it will be an issue.

try ditching the Built-Up Post label in the object and label it. with a label.

Text and custom objects may be unwieldy. (my word of the day).

a built up post can be done with a column, saved as a favorite.

a 2D built up post can be made from the wood part in the detailer library saved as a favourite.

it's actually "bearing point" and only needed as a 2d object

ok, it's the scale setting in the object editing window that was set to a different scale, and because the text is not affected by the window scale it was messing with me. plus, the tutorials don't remind you to reload the library after editing an object. all sorted now.
