Scaling 3d model when making a component?

[reagle]

I've been trying to add a 3D model to a connecto . It's a Molex part and the Step file is supplied by them.  All goes well, but the part is actually appearing to scale incorrectly- it's too small. Is there a way in Altium to apply scaling factor when importing a model?

That's odd. Have you tried contacting molex about it? Sure you have the right part?

Part number is the same and it looks right, just small

that's weird.

are you sure you have a correct STEP file (AP214) ?

havent' seen that. scaling can;t be done ( it defeats the purpose of step files... they are supposed to be 1:1 scale)

I wasn't sure if Step model has units or scale.
The file came from http://www.molex.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/stp/54819-0519_stp.zip

The model looks OK to me and a few measurements I made match dimensions in the 2D PDF drawing on the same page.

Never mind. I am totally being stupid. My drawing and the new model were 90 degrees from each other. See picture  and thanks for the help!
