Issue 3533
Allow transform values up to +/- 999999.00 instead of +/- 99999.000
In iClone 7 we have an extra digit for the transform (X, Y, and Z) values. This is great, but I don't think the extra digit is used optimally. 0.001 cm is very small indeed and I think a resolution of 0.01 cm (1/10 of a millimeter) would be sufficient.

On the other end of the scale we currently have a maximum of 99999.000 centimeters or about 1 kilometer. This enough most of the time, but for large scenes (cities, space) I have run into the limit. An object can be moved outside of the limit, but the location value is no longer available. This is problematic.

So my suggestion is therefore to allow a range of +/- 999999.00 for the X, Y, and Z values.

Image "expand_range.png" shows what this would look like in GUI at the proposed maximum positive values.

This was actually implemented at some point, so thank you RL!

I would like to bump this up, because it would be very useful to have a value of 10 km in one direction for a X, Y, or Z, instead of just 1 km.

In particular for large cityscapes and other huge environments, such as space, it is sometimes necessary for objects or the camera to be located far away from the origin.
