These are the new features and improvements that have been incorporated into the Crosswalk toolset since the last Crosswalk documentation update. For more details on fixes and changes, see the Crosswalk wiki.
The Crosswalk Setup will continue to detect older versions of Softimage (and XSI), 3ds Max, and Maya. The Setup will save a backup of the older files and install the latest versions of the required plug-ins. You can continue to use unsupported versions but it is at your own risk because no fixes will be provided to resolve any issues that may arise.

FBX Import and Export Options: Units
|
Scale Factor |
Indicates the scaling value that will be used to import or export the contents of the FBX file. |
|
Automatic |
When on, automatically detects the units used to import or export the file and matches it (Scale Factor = 1). When off, you can import or export the file using the units of your choice. Keep in mind that using a scale factor other than 1 can cause skinned (enveloped) characters to not be imported or exported correctly. |
|
File units converted to |
Converts the file units to one of the following unit scales: Millimeters, Centimeters, Decimeters, Meters, Kilometers, Inches, Feet, Yards, or Miles. This option is only available when Automatic is turned off. |
