V4 reads 78.7658 inches. The attached image shows the problem, which is that flat-footed, she's just a tad shorter than V3 (about 0.5 Poser inches). Her zero pose, however, puts her above V3 by those almost 3 inches. This causes subsequent scaling issue. Not too much to be a problem if you're only working with rough heights anyway: as it stands I'll use the script in a heartbeat, as it at least gets you in the ballpark. I'd cheat a bit on the height, saying I want V4 to be 5'7.5" instead of 5'6", for example, to take that extra base height into account.
Still, having the option to enter the base height manually, so I could subtract those 3 inches at the start, would be neato-keen.
Incidentally, beside them is Dr. Geep's 9 foot measuring stick. Its problem with Poser 7 scale is obvious (V3 measuring just under 6'2" instead of 6'4"). Fortunately, using the script to get V3's calculated height, it's trivial to rescale the Y on the prop to make it match using the height of V3 as a baseline. Scaling it down to 96.9% on the Y gets it close enough.
