Quote - The material internal number system is always in inches.

So the conversion from inches to meters is multiply by .0254.

Convert from meters to inches, multiply by 39.37.

 

If you like .00018 meters, then in the script use .00018 * 39.37 - no need for a calculator - scripts are calculators.

Didn't know it was always in inches. I assumed it was some special internal scale. Thanks for that information.

 

Currently working in meters becuase the props for the scene were made and are postioned in meters. Normally I work in feet or inches. Easy enough to write a script that takes an input value and coverts.
