I make models, I've long had a hell of a time with Poser's bizarre non-standardized scale making me have to scale by eye, grrr!
Ever other program can import in exact sizes, and obj files have exact scale size built in. Poser though is not so easy.

so reading ont he DAZ forums I came upon this important tip that may help you all :)

WIth Poser 6 and 7, a "Poser unit" the size of the "Standard figure", is 103 inches.

in Psoer 4 and 5 it's 8 feet (96 inches).

So say you make a sword 3 feet long, 36 inches, divide that by the Poser uinit size (103 inches for Poser 6), so approximately bring it in at 0.349% the size of a "standard figure".

Hope this helps :)
