A person 76 Eyes tall in metric.
is 1824mm tall, it's just easier to deal with the smaller # of 76 units then
1824mm.

Metric you can not divide buy 2,3,4,6
So most the time I use Units.

A person 76 Eyes tall in feet,inches.
is 71.25 inches tall, it's just easier to deal with the whole # of 76 then
decimals.

Feet,inches on the PC is a pain.
1/64 is 0.015625
1/32 is 0.03125
1/16 is 0.0625
1/8 is 0.125
1/4 is 0.25
1/2 is 0.5
Would be easier if the object info box would display fractions.I no I can
type fraction in to the object info box.

Some Artist divides humans and everything else in to Phi.1/1.618 witch is
close to 5/8 witch the 5 would click best in metric and the 8 would click
best in feet,inches.Poser Models fit Phi.

Guess depends on what you our doing as to what measuring system works best.
I would not disregard Metric,Feet & Inches,Units,Phi,Pi.
Would be nice if one measuring system worked for them all thou.
