[Archive] M2 objects dissapearing if camera is too far (SOLVED)

Hi,
Im having some culling problem with some objects that disseapears unless the camera is very close, or the player is close to the objects:
For instance :
Camera Far away:

Camera a little more close:

The objects are size between 0.9 or 1.1
If i copy/paste and set the objects size a little more high, like 1.4 , the issue is fixed. However, i have a lot of objects with this problem and i dont understand why i have this issue with the objects at scale 1
They are wotlk objects, and the map is custom wotlk . Not porting whatsoever, and im currently using the last version of noggit (3378)
Is there is a way to fix this without rescaling all the objects?
Most regards.
EDIT:
I found the explination for this. In WOTLK and before, objects have a "size category" that is measured by the bounding box of the object (wich is measured by the scale, rotation and position). If that category is 1 or bellow, the objects fade unless too close. So i need to change the scale and rotations of the objects until the size category is at least 1.5 (i think). The objects im using have a low bounding box because i think they are meant to be used in enclosed spaces, so i need them to scale them a little bit more high.
The size category is detailed in the object detail info window on noggit (wich appears after pressing F8 while selecting an object)
Regards
