Units Question

For some reason I'm having trouble with figuring out what units Vizard is using. The manual says it's using metres, but this doesn't seem to be so, at least not for the Z-axis.

In my program, I have a command that, upon pressing a key, brings the user back to a pre-determined position in the environment. The X and Y coordinates are working fine, but it seems like Z is in millimeters or something. 200 "metres" down the hallway moves the user forward only a small amount, when in actuality the hallway is only about 30m long.

When I made the model in 3D Studio Max, I used metres as the units. I now know that I should have selected 'Generic Units'. Is this the problem? If so, then why do X and Y work properly? I tried re-exporting the model after changing it to Generic Units but it didn't make any difference.

Please help!

Thanks!
