"In my experience, Maya imports into Away3D as a 1:1 relationship between the model's size and the pixels. If it is 200 wide, it is 200 pixels wide in Away3D."
Can I ask exactly what export settings you are using in Maya? In my workflow, the 3d modellers output from Maya to DAE and I ALWAYS have to scale it to 10 or thereabouts when I'm importing to Away! Seems like you may have hit the perfect export settings! Would love to know what you're using.
