TrackED Track Length Scale Accuracy?

Hi Piboso.

I've exported a track length scaled in cms(centreline curve length measured for track length accuracy, both in 3dsMax and Maya), yet when I load it into TrackED, and create and merge the centreline, the track length noted in meters at the bottom of the TrackED screen shows the track length as shorter than it should be. Are you certain that TrackED is accurate in it's track length result because something seems to be not working properly somewhere?

I've gone over this many times trying to see if I've made an error but cannot find one on my part.

Maya track surface curve length in cms = 400270.043214

TrackED  Track Length in Mtr = 3131.763184

Convert TrackED measurement to cms and the result is: 313176.3184 cms

Original Maya track surface curve length minus TrackED track length in cms equals a difference of: 87093.724814 cms.
