Genesis 3 figure morphing and Precise measurements

Is there a way to import measurements in cm so I can precisely moprh a model?

For example, I want the figures height to be 180cm, but in DAZ I can only slide a hieght slider up and down, which doesn't give me a value other than a percentage.

Thanks.

    One way to do that is to create a primitive of the exact height you want (180cm) and then adjust the height to match.

    I simply use two Null,  to measure two point,,, eg  head size or bust size, or bust size, or bust  size, .. with authographic left, right, top view.

    then circulate from two x, y, z.

    So there's no way to input body measurements in cm

    Are you serious? Surely there has to be a way.

    No joking  Very Very serioussad.  what actually you hope?  I feel, if  you hope to see "cm"  when you apply full character morphs  ,

    you can make it if you really need , by ERC and make new controller which auto change value with Each morphs, but first you need to check

    between 100% to 0 %.  eg FBMVictoria 6 100 % , x value. to zero shape x value. 

     

    basically DAZ unit is cm,  in parameter tab,  translation  values.    then if you use Null or obj to measure size, you can see it as cm.

    then  if you add  rigidity follow node for target poligon , by geometery editor,  the point auto follow mesh defomation.

    then you can get current value of ridigity follow node as cm in parameter tab,   but I prefere simply make null, then set positon, first,

    and change morph value  untill it fit to the null position. or you may buy measurement plug in,, though I do not think it fit your purpose,

    to see current size as cm with changing morph value.  it simply measure  edge or vertex you selected I think.

    Ah maybe the plug in fit your work . . (though I never think to buy plug in just  for measurement purpose ^^;)

    if 80% off,, I may thinking.

    Besided the Height dial there are morph dials to adjust the length of the legs and torso, because of this there is no reliable way for the Height dial to use true physical measurements.  You are going to have to learn be creative to get around these little quirks.

    To be frankly said, the price of the plug in is too high for me when think  what it can do,  and  the usage.  smiley

    I have a measuring wall prop (don't remember where I got it) that I always use when working on figure morphs.

    Possible problem with measuring wall is if it was made for Poser and which version as it has changed its base unit a number of times.
