I am having issues getting my AutoCAD based 3d bard design to scale into Arkio properly. I am modeling with architectural units in AutoCAD. So I can import an OBJ into Arkio, I import the DWG in 3DS Max, set units to inches (I’ve eventried feet) report OBJ file.  
After importing it to the cloud it is less than human height when added to the scene.  
Help!!!  
Is there a proper path for units from AutoCAD to Arkio?  
Aslo, is there a better way to go directly from AutoCAD to Arkio.

Thanks,  
Ken
