Here are the FACTS about scale in Poser (not speculation or guesswork but verified facts): 1) One "Poser Unit = 8 feet 2) The scale in Poser changed between Poser 2 and Poser 3, but has not changed since then including Poser 5. 3) If you create a scale model in another program, when you export to Poser you must take into account the scale used to create the object because Poser will NOT read this information and re-scale for you. For example if you created an object in a program using inches as the scale then in that program 1 unit = 1 inch. To convert that to Poser Units precisely, you must scale your model by 1/96 (8 feet = 96 inches) - in decimal value this is 0.010416667 (see image for other conversions). 4) When you import a precision scaled object into Poser you must UNCHECK the "Percent of standard figure" box. 5) Some people use 100 and 0.01 as scaling factors for Poser, but though they are close (if modeled in inches) the are off true scale by about 4%. hope this info helps
