Re: scaling of objects?

Yes, it does.  By default it scales each object to fit into a unit sphere.
Try disabling normalization, by typing 0N (zero N) in a graphics window,
or see the Normalize browser on the Appearance panel, or put the command
  (normalize world none)
in your ~/.geomview file.  You may need to use Look At for a good view,
if the objects you're examining aren't of unit size and centered on the origin.
