At rotate a model in the skeletalmesh editor from the root bone don’t rotate the correct degrees (happend with Blender models). Show 250º but only move about 15º [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28070491/UE/Forums/WeaponUnreal.png](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28070491/UE/Forums/WeaponUnreal.png) Post of the problem: [Blender to UE4 problems with bones & Unreal - Character & Animation - Unreal Engine Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?69576-Blender-to-UE4-problems-with-bones-amp-Unreal) ---

Well i find the problem its a problem with the bones scale or something: [X] A. If export the model from Blender with scale x100 and import to UE4 give this problem. [X] B. If export from Blender with scale x1 and import with uniform scale of x100 give the same problem. [V] C. If in Blender copy the project and scale all in the editor to x100 and apply the transform and export as x1 and import as x1 scale then works. ---

No, its fixed importing scaled model, but the UE4 give problems with import as uniform scale different to 1 (Tested with maya & blender). Its a problem with the UE4 editor the rotation axis, check the image, the model is okay, but at rotate with the ue4 editor axis only rotate a 0.1% of the real rotation ---

I attempted to reproduce this on my end but have been unsuccessful. Do you have an asset that you would be willing to share that is exhibiting this behavior? ---

This need to be fixed, in 4.8 with Blender 2.75 is totally broken. Will be good to have a bool check box in the import mesh menu to apply the scale before import.
