all right i think I'm starting to understand this but I've run into a problem
here is the mesh in max
the part of the sword are split up into the blade and the hilt. they are two different objects
and here it is in fable explorer
as you can see the hilt is way oversized and the blade looks normal

I'm in a good mood, I'll do this one, nicely even.
Make a box. Position the box at 0,0,0. Make sure the box is rotated to 0,0,0. Make sure the box is scaled to 100% on all three axes. Now, select the box, go to the edit panel, look for a button in one of the rollouts that says "Attach". Click it. Select one of the submeshes. Edit Element, get rid of the box. Then do this for the other submesh. Rename the submeshes, they'll be called something like box_01, box_02. Then parent them back under the MESH node. Then export. This will make everything at origin as is.
The meshes needed to be at origin. They're pushed to origin on export, so if they're not at origin, they'll come out misaligned.
In the future, move the vertices instead of the whole mesh node.
Note: I learned this trick from morerunes.
