LIDAR has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications. LIDAR may operate in a fixed direction (e.g., vertical) or it may scan multiple directions, in which case it is known as LIDAR scanning or 3D laser scanning, a special combination of 3-D scanning and laser scanning. Lidar ( / ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr/, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of 'light detection and ranging' or 'laser imaging, detection, and ranging' ) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. Vegetation heights are depicted in shades of green, where dark greens are closest to the ground and light greens are the highest. For ground-level features, colours range from deep brown to tan.

So it sees the 12 as the value and the import doesn't know or care what it is but as soon as I changed my import option to mm the. The customer exported in mm and I imported in inch. I opened a customer model and it looked correct until I made a measurement and it was 12' the real measurement was 0.473 or 12mm. stl file (inch or mm) when opening the file and change it in your options to match before opening it to keep it at the correct values.

Make sure you know what your units are of the. This next comment doesn't really have anything to do with how the Mesh Enabler works other than how you import then use the Enabler: Seems to work fine now after Rocky fixed it up.
