Bay 12 Games Forum

Ahh the long discussion regarding scale, I've lurked these forums for a few years so I've seen the threads. Determining scale can be difficult when there is no set scale in game and your project is a 1:1 scale object. I generally find the smallest meaningful item or piece of furniture and count that as a 1x1x1 square. After I've done that I'll compare that too known dimensions to ensure its accurate. It can take an hour or so to scale a known size object to DF terms this way but seems to be accurate. It is also fairly rare IRL to have a selection of structures that all share a common height per floor. A house may have 7 foot high ceilings but a skyscraper or large craft may have far more. Unfortuantley no matter what the scale actually is all the visualizers seem to make the Z axis shorter than ideal for my purposes.
