okay, did another test, it appears that one native poser unit i(PU) is:

a) 1PU = 8.5986 feet    and 1 foot = 0.116297 PU
b) 1PU = 2.62128 m    and 1m = 0.381493 PU

so, if one is using another application, using feet or meters as it's *input units, the objects would need to be scaled down by factor a) for feet, and by factor b) for meters to put them into poser units, proportionate to the figures.

*input units.... for example, when making a model, any model, I tend to decide that 1 unit in my applicetion is to represent 1 foot, and model accordingly.  Then when importing in poser I need to remember that my model was created with feet as measuring units in mind, and use the appropriate conversion factor to bring me in poser units world. and in proportion to it's characters.

Now, how the proportion of various poser figures relates to real world humans and architectural standards... heh, that can be another long debate.... and I'm not touching that one!
