Metric Ruler

Description
Reupload of a... well, metric ruler. For all of your metric ruler needs, if you even have any.

Scale to 0.11848 for best results. (Thanks to Bluey TEW58 for figuring that one out!)

If the original uploader of this model wants me to take this down, just let me know.

According to your scale bluey, Spy is 160cm? is your scale off because I am reading online that spy should be 180.

small things like spies knife is coming up as 2 ft too?

Yep. Well I went in to SFM and spammed numbers in to the scale till the ruler lined up. Lol

Oh my god. He actually did the math.

In doing some research I've concluded that neither ruler is correct. Both rulers are off by 10.2cm and 6.5cm respectfully. So to make them to exact scale they will have to be rescaled.

I've took the time to come up with the perfect root scale to fix both. It took me a few minutes but since I have something marking a foot and something marking 16hu it was a mater of lining them up with scale root. Not it is dome and I present these two simple game changing numbers that make me now realize that all my work hasn't been to scale hardly at all.

height_ruler.mdl: 0.13273
metric_ruler.mdl: 0.11848

According to Wiki, and Steam forums tough some suggest that not all things are to the same scale and we'll never be sure. However things are pointing to the 16hu per foot. And in SFM one whole number in SFM's positioning is one hammer unit. So putting the axis tool as 0, 0, 16 I am able to pinpoint the exact point I need to go off of to match the foot too.

(This will be on Height ruler too)

It's not my model, chief. All I did was reupload it.

Hey hey hey, this one has somewhere around 5,61 cm measurement error. That's kinda big for a ruler.

Super useful when you need 2 models to interact
