In Autodesk® 3ds Max®, it is recommended to set the system units to centimeters to avoid any scaling on Model import and export.

There are no specific import options to adjust between Unity and Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® Maya LT™. When working in Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® Maya LT™, you can set the working units to meters if you prefer.

For example, when working with large models in Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® Maya LT™, to ensure that the models clip to meters, adjust the scale of the near and far clipping planes for all cameras by 100x. In addition, you should scale lights by 100x so that objects display in the viewport.
