No need to throw new random numbers out there. 1 PNU has never been 108 inches.
As stated above, it was 96 inches up to Poser 5, then 103.2 inches from Poser 6.
This does not in any way mean that characters were actually built to either of these scales. It is just that if you want to produce a 1 OBJ unit movement of a prop, you will need to use 1 PNU, or you can use 103.2 inches, or you can use 8.6 feet, etc., by choosing the other units for Poser Display Unit. These are the conversion between units as established by the program. This is for Poser 6 and up. If you were going to do the same movement in Poser 5 or less, you would convert based on 96 inches = 8 feet = 1 PNU = 1 OBJ unit.
Note that many other apps establish 1 OBJ unit = 1 meter, but this is not universal and in no way defines any sort of standard.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
