How-to: Combine multiple models with different unit
To combine multiple models which are defined in different unit to a prc file, you can create a product occurrence with scale for A3DAsmProductOccurrenceData::m_pLocation, to display the model in the same unit.
// specify input file
A3DImport sImport1(acSrcFileName1); // model in millimeter
A3DImport sImport2(acSrcFileName2); // model in meter
// specify output file
A3DExport sExport(acDstFileName);

A3DAsmModelFileData sModelFileData;
// import #1
iRet = sHoopsExchangeLoader.Import(sImport1);
A3D_INITIALIZE_DATA(A3DAsmModelFileData, sModelFileData);
iRet = A3DAsmModelFileGet(sHoopsExchangeLoader.m_psModelFile, &sModelFileData);
// create instances
