...that when seen from the Top View, the ground plane is a disk with a radius of exactly 10,000 Vue Units? Uh...a Vue Unit or VU (that's my name for them) is the only absolute unit of measure in Vue, everything else is based on the size it was when it loaded into Vue. For instance, a tree with a size of 2.0 is exactly twice as big as it was when it was loaded, if it has a size of .5, it's half the size it was when it was loaded. Now, why E-On should choose an absolute scale for location, but a relative scale for size is beyond me! One of the big problems I have is getting different objects to be in scale with each other. Even Vue vegetation isn't in any proper scale. Just load the palm tree and the bonny clump and you'll see what I mean. I think we need to DEMAND from E-On that they let us in on the secret of, "Just exactly how big a Vue Unit is." If we knew, we could probably devise a scheme to normalize the scale of EVERYTHING! -SMT
I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
