Here ya go, folks! Have fun and let me know what you think. BTW - Just in case you were wondering ... Setting the "Scale" to 831,600% makes the Ground 1 mile square. Now, where did Posette go? Setting the "Scale" to 16,632,000% makes the Ground 1 mile per division ... (in wire frame mode) ... which gives you, oh, 'bout 400 square miles. That's bigger than some countries, and right on your 'puter screen. Makes ya feel rich, don't it? I mean ... all that real estate. ;=] Now, I don't know what you're gonna do with that info but I just thought I'd answer the question B4 it got axed! ;=] cheers, dr geep ;=]

Thanks for the effort, this will come in handy. Now it's just a matter for us in the rest of the world to figure out what this is in metrics ;-)

Thanks geep, That'll be handy. How did you get the original figure of (about) 0.75 inches per division?

No, actually, I got tired of trying to guess the scale for props created in RDS and Carrara (that both have real world dimensioning, i.e., feet and inches, et al). So, I created a "measuring stick" (a 3D prop - which I'd be glad to send to anyone who is interested - free!). Just email a SASE to "geep@cybertrails.com" and request the "12ft Scale." ;=] It's a 12' scale that you can use to measure any figure or prop in Poser right down to the inch (or fraction therof, if ya want). From that I determined what the relative scales would be by adjusting the Ground Scale and generated the table shown above. The rest is, as they say, history. cheers, dr geep ;=] P.S. There are "specific" values that you can use for "import" and "export" between Poser and RDS and Carrara that will maintain the correct scale.

You don't really have to email a SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope). Just an email. ;=]

Thanks again, But there's no way that 12 footer will fit through my letter box. Any, I think it'llbe a useful exercise in scale management, and I can go modern and metric at the same time. Thanks for the offer, and thanks for the idea. angola
