GoZ to Max.. nothing visible--scaling problem ?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi,

I’m not ‘new’ to zbrush, but,… I’m lost.

I have a tool that I’ve been working on in Zbrush. I was trying to bring it into Max (2013) using GoZ but this didn’t work.

GoZ activates Max. Max opens. There are a few quick dialogue screens (one of which is the import window). Then Max is a blank scene. (Nothing available to choose in the select object dropdown)
I tried to ‘export’ the tool from Zbrush and import it into Max. When I import the tool it puts something into the scene but nothing is visible. I attempted to scale the object in max to no avail. I also attempted to apply a flip normals to the object but nothing occurred.
I went to prefences and re-installed the GoZ plugin(but I know there’s nothing wrong with the program, and the problem is user related)

I am guessing there is a scale problem between the GoZ plugin and Max. In truth, there is a scale problem with my Zbrush model being too small. I assume this is true because I appended my tool to the zstar object as a subtool and the model was barely the size of the star.
I attempted to merge the star with my zbrush tool and use GoZ to bring them into Max, but this resulted in the same non-existent model inside of Max.
I attempted to unify but this didn’t help either.

I am guessing there is a simple solution, but I have yet to come upon it.

I would greatly appreciate some help.

I don’t know if I need to post the file or not (just let me know and I will… Can I upload ZTL files?.. I don’t see that as being an acceptable format.)

Thank you

I tried to use the search engine here to look for a solution but “GoZ” is apparently too common a term or too short a word to use to help with narrowing results.

Have you tried to use GOZ with a default tool included in Zbrush?, for example the star alone. This would allow to know if it s is a problem of your specific mesh or that GOZ doesn’t work in general.

I think you can attach files.

Attached is the Tool that I continue to have issue with.

It will not transfer into Max using GoZ. (Max opens and it goes through the routine of bringing in the Tool, but then leaves me with a blank scene with nothing at all to select in the selection window.)
It also will not import into Max as an Obj that has any visibility.

I would appreciate anyone who has the time looking at this file and explain what is wrong.

Thank you
