Back
thanks so much guys...
if all else fails script it...
I actually searched the docs, i guess i didn't search proper keyword :)
BTW, i am collaborating with a team that uses MAX, and it is required to make
the character 16" (in decimal inches) to be put into the game engine. so yes at
unit is a unit, but i would like to make my model in XSI as close as possible
so i am not tweaking in MAX.
thanks again

Do you have to write a script for everything?
dim mug, water, kettle, milk, teabag
set list = GetValue( "SwitchOn" )
LogMessage "Kettle boiled!"
MakeTea = Mug + teabag + (boiiled water) + milk
pause (1 minute)
RemoveBag
LogMessage "Enjoy!"

this from the scripting docs. Turn this into a button and away you go.:-
dim xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax
dim list
set list = GetValue( "SelectionList" )
GetBBox list, FALSE, xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax
LogMessage "Lower Bound: " & xmin & " / " & ymin & " / " & zmin
LogMessage "Upper Bound: " & xmax & " / " & ymax & " / " & zmax

You could switch the ruler on, rather than counting lines.
Personally I'd never call a unit anything other than a unit.

I need to have my unit settings on "decimal inches" and i am not sure
how to do this. I changed my unit settings under prefs to inches. so i hope
thats right. NOW i need to know how big a model is that i made. is there a way
to check the demensions of a model? or do i just count grid lines?
thanks
