3dsmax importing Reset Xform

[Javadevil]

Hi I'm importing and exported DAE file from Archicad, it comes in just the way I like it, the mesh is separated as it should be, textures, etc.
The problem is the transforms are out of wack for any additional modeling the values are out of wack. Inset 10mm is insetting 100mm or more. 
So first thought is use the Reset X form in the Utilities panel, but this doesn't work for this particular model.

I'm wonder if Reset Xform is broken in 3dsmax 2019

I don’t have a solution for you, I just wanted to comment that when bringing in an FBX from Revit you face similar scaling issues.  A reset xForm (along with its weird behavior) solves it in Max 2016.  It is interesting that it’s not working for you with archicad in 2019...perhaps a units issue combined with the reset xform?  Does resetting xform have ANY effect?

No not that I'm aware of

I haven't worked with DAE Files, but are you unable to collapse it to editable poly's then use reset xform? ALso... when you say that using Xform doesn't work... do you mean you can apply it and it does nothing or, that you can't apply it at all?

Try create a standard box, convert to editable poly and then select attach - select your imported model

This often works for me to resolve alot of issues with revit files in max

If the mesh is part of a group, try detaching it first.
