Photoshop CS4 3D Engine

Question

For the first time i have finally got around to actually using Photoshop's new 3D engine to paint directly to a model exported as OBJ from Maya 2009. First off, well done to Adobe because it is pretty damn good, but i seem to be having a problem with it of some sort.
I was working on a model, and i saved it out as a PSD (i assume that is the best format for Photoshop's 3D work as well as 2D work, yes?). When i reopened it later in the day, i found it was streched in the Y axis (Up, which may also be Z in some programs but i can't remeber what photoshop sees it as). The probelm was, was that the model was at a slant just ranomly placed on the screen when i saved it. So when it was streched length-ways, i  couldnt get it back exactly where it was so now the model isn't the same as it's orginal, which it needed to be for what i need it for. Does anyone else get this problem?
Just to add, although i know it's not very useful posting it here, but if i might make a few suggestions....
The shadow color, whould be able to be changed so we can see what we are painting in the shadows. I was painting white onto green, and all i could see was black in the shadows, but i chnaged the render settings to not have shadows and show the wireframe with solid colours instead.
Also, something seems off about the navigation, but i can't make out what it is. This is compairing it to Maya, 3DS Max and ZBrush. It seems to slow to navigate around somehow. Also, shouldnt the manipulator to move around always be shown when using a 3d model, so you dont have to change tools to rotate quick, then brush to paint, then rotate quick and so on. Also, can i ask why there is the option to scale the model in only 1 axis at a time, right next to the move and rotate handles on the navigator? Why would you strech it intentially? You should reall only need to scale it all equally up and down to see what you are doing, but not change the model given to it literally like that in my opinion. (Note that the model was not streched before saving it obviously).

Perhaps you forgot that you said that I acted like a smartass and offered a childish comment.
It is true that I missed that you were referring to the default objects within Photoshop. I should read more carefully. But knowing how you insult people that attempt to offer help, I won't bother reading your further posts so we won't run into this problem again.
As Mylenium noted, if you are to replace the default templates with your own models, you'll need to use your modeller found in another true 3D program.
Place yourself in the position of the few here that desire to help. You'll win more assistance with honey. Dump the vinegar.
