Quote - You guys recommending Wings for Architectural stuff, how would you create an object with proportionate scale?  Let's say you created an object which needs a specific thickness relative to it's size.  For example, a box with an inside and outside of specific thickness.  You can add thickness with Wings, but how will you know if it's 3 inches or 5?  Even if you somehow guessed correctly, wouldn't rescaling the object to world coordinates in Poser later potentially distort your proportionate thickness?

By deciding before you start, what one unit is going to be, such as, one unit = one foot.  Then 0.25 would equal 3 inches, 0.33 = four inches, etc.  When done creating, export and load in Poser, use one of the Poser measures, Geep makes a couple good ones.  Determine size against this, and you haven't saved anything in poser yet.  Go back into wings and whatever scaling factor you dialed into poser, select it all, scale it and save your .obj.  Takes longer to say how than it does to do it.
