Custom body morph doesn't match itself

Hi all, I'm trying to create a custom body morph slider so that I can adjust different cc3 character bodies to one single shape.
The end goal here is to have one avatar to simulate clothing on in Marvelous designer so that I have to simulate only once, and swap a lot of different characters with the same clothing piece in 3ds max.

I used the method Reallusion describes here:
https://manual.reallusion.com/Character_Creator_3/ENU/3/Content/Character_Creator_3/3/06_Customizing_Morphing_Sliders/Morphing_Default_Character.htm

F
or testing and to keep all things as uniform and measurable as possible I start with a default female character with exaggerated features to clearly see the defects.



I create an obj and an iAvatar file.

Next I create new default female character and reset all the sliders to zero as described in the manual. I create a body morpher with the iAvatar file and check adjust bones to fit morph.
Then with de default character and all sliders at zero I set my new morph to value 100.




Everything seems to work but when I import the exported obj which should be exactly the same size it doesn't match up.
I import my obj as an accessory, I parent it to the rootbone and then zero out all the values in translation and rotation. 



It doesn't seem much but in simulating clothing this difference creates a lot of clipping because of the mismatch. Also in 3ds max the same mismatch happens.
What is going on here? Can somebody please help me?
Thanks, wilbert

Thanks for looking into this, sadly the steps you took are the same as I did. So doing exactly the same as you I get a different result. 
I don't know what's going on but I'll try to create a new scene again to rule out human error.
