You need to turn "normalization" off. By default, all objects are
translated and scaled to fit within the unit cube. If you turn
normalization off they will be displayed in their own coordinate
system.

You can turn off normalization during a particular Geomview session
through the browser on the Obscure panel. If you want it to be off by
default, add the line "(normalization allgeoms none)" to a  file
called ".geomview" in your home directory.
