if things were that easy...

"Inside Poser, if you have your units set to feet, then the poser world can be measured in feet ". In most cases, that is. In some cases, it's not. There are various parameters in materials room / lighting and in cloth room which have their own units (mm resp cm), independant of your own settings. And while geometry is exported in PNU, materials seems to be exported in inches.

Ops issue is: there is no distance-measuring-tool. To support SM or any scripter around: let's define 'distance' first. Between origins, between center of mass, between "heart of the matter" (whatever that is), is it the closest distance between the outsides of objects, and do we have to take displacement maps into account?

And so we want to measure along curves as well, what's the length of a Walk Path? And can I measure circumference, hip width, breast size?

Just a few thoughts. Poser is an artists tool. Painters don't measure, tailors do. So, what do we need it for, in the first place?

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
