This probably sounds dumb, but is there a good reason to use one form of units in poser instead of another?  I use feet.  I think they are nice for moving things in the pose room without needing too many big numbers and they aren't that big a unit lengthwise.  Some people use inches.  Others PNUs and others something meteric.  I'm assuming it's to personal taste, but since I don't know it for 100% and it recently came up in the forum, I thought I should ask about it.

 

If there's no good reason over using one or the other, should we consider informally standardizing on a meteric and assume someone is using that specific length unless otherwise stated? For example, if the mat room or someone's shaders that they share only work at or under a certain size (like raybias turned out to), it might be nice to have one standard that we can all assume everyone is using.  But maybe I'm overthinking things as usual.

WARK!

(using Poser Pro 2014 SR3, on 64 bit Win 7, poser units are inches.)
