What's confusing now? :lol:

Maybe this helps a little:
I used metric system in Poser 7 and looked what height said figures have.
Next I imported these figures to CATIA and looked for their height again.
There was no physical simulation done because it won't matter for Poser or D|S or many other apps that don't have FEM and phys. sim.
After I got the height from CATIA I posted the results here.
Finally I added the Pose data  for the figures and mentioned that I-DEAS came to the same results for height as CATIA because I imported them to that suite as well.

The scale related stuff was that 1m SI is 0.930234m in Poser 7.
The other numbers are related to the figures height since obviously there is some confusion about how their height can be interpreted correctly.
