maybe you broblem is caused by gmax,
when you import your lods into gmax to render them it can be that they merged to a new scale by gmax

Make sure your system units are set to meters, not inches.

I think I figured it out. When I import into gmax I need to make sure the "convert units" box is unchecked. GOT IT. THanks for the help....
