SW models scaled up when imported, thus can't apply textures at correct scale

Hi, I'm new to KeyShot, so maybe I'm missing something here. (I'm running SW 2012 and KS 3.3)

When I bring my models into KS, they scale up a crazy amount. So much so, that I can't use any of the textures as bump maps, because scaling within the material editing doesn't go large enough.

Is there a panel w/in KS that manages how big my imported model is? Is there a way to resize w/in KS?

For example, I imported what in SW is a 1" square cube. When I attempted to apply the "bathroom tile" texture/bump, it makes it seem as if the cube is 10' or something... (see attached)

I have not been able to figure out how to remedy this. A solution would be greatly appreciated.

I think you can type in a value greater than 5 in that texture-scale-box.  Give it a go ! :)

For some reason, when I use the SW plug-in to export, I have to scale my texture down to 0.001 for it to be correct.
