*"P4 has a scale, it's 1/8"=1'0". "* Scale is actually 1/10" = 1'0" *"That would be .125 = 1'-0"."* Actually that would be 0.125 = 1' 1/2" or (12 1/2") (suggested pronounciation from geep's dictionary) pnu = Poser Native Unit (pronounced "pee-en-yu" or "new") 10.000pnu = 1,000" = (83 1/3') = (83' 4") 1.000pnu = 100.000" = (8 1/3') = (8' 4") 0.100pnu = 10.000" = (0.83') 0.010pnu = 1.000" = (0.083') 0.001pnu = 0.100" = (1/10 inch) = (0.0083') Thus, "Dork" is 6' 3" and "Posette" is 5' 10 1/2". *"There are 96 1/8 inches in 12" thus 1 = 96 not 100 as some believe."* There are 120 1/10 inches in 12" thus 1 = 120 not 100 as some believe. *"The dials in P4 use "real world numbers", in other words, if you move a trans dial .125 you move that object 1/8"."* if you move a trans dial .125 you move that object 12 1/2". (in Poser4) *"What it looks like they did in P5 is take these "real world numbers " and multiplied them by 100 instead of 96, which is what they should have done. Take number you get from measuring Donk, divide it by 100, ..."* The number is 0.752pnu divided by 100 = 0.00752 (case 2) - If you use 752pnu divided by 100 = 7.52 *"and then multiply it by 96 and see what you get."* 0.00752 x 96 = 0.72192" [not correct] (case 2) - 7.52 x 96 = 721.92" [not correct] Take number you get from measuring Donk, multiply it by 100, The number is 0.752pnu multiplied by 100 = 75.2" (6' 2.2") Thus, "Dork is 6' 3" (actually measured on the screen in Poser4) 6' 2.2" is close enough to 6' 3" for me. I'm done. ('cept for P5) ;=] NOW ..... I can go back to designing a new "Scale" that WILL be correct. cheers, dr geep ;=]

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
