That's where I thought a base with a spline might work almost like a tape measure. Stretch up from wherever it's place to the height we need. There could be two versions, one in imperial and one in metric to satisfy the itch of whoever uses it.
Can you convert height units to something usable?

I agree. My partner complains whenever I tell her the time using the 24 hr clock ("18 hundred. what's that? What's the REAL time?").
The Romans had the right idea - December, where DEC = 10, was the 10th and last month of the year, preceded by November, NOV = 9, OCT=8, SEPT=7 - much more sensible until "non-metric" people decided to change it.

You would still have ten 36-day months, plus 5 or 6 extra days...
To have a perfect metric calendar, Earth should be somewhere between Mars (687 days/year) and the Asteroid belt (~1,700 days/year) and we could have a 1,000 day year made of ten 100-day months, each one of them with ten 10-day decades. Unfortunately, the planet would be a lifeless ball of rock with nobody worrying about how to count time...
Going back to the original issue, I am no programming wizard, but I don't see having the height displayed in feet (with decimals) when Imperial units are selected as such an impossible task...

In order to extract the latitude and longitude values and display them in my Lat-Long Reader, I use "name datum" where datum contains those two values.
Anyone know if there is a similar name that has the height value? It must be stored somewhere in order to display it in S2.0

I see that 2 people have already downloaded it. Thanks, it now joins the other 439 objects that have been downloaded a total of 31 million times.
She sounds like a gal with common sense. Go ahead and marry her.
Make that at least 3!
The graph is satire, Martin. I'm Aussie, imperial sucks.
The one you use most commonly. I'm British and metric is a foreign system. I was 12 years old when we switched over to decimal currency so at 65 I could no longer work out prices in old money even if we could use it. For distances and weights I think in imperial because I have them set in my head. The only thing I have found metric useful for is 3D railway modelling where metric sizes are easier to use than imperial for small lengths.
Here's a very useful website.

Great site...thanks for the tipHere's a very useful website.

2 bob for this man.
The calculator works well too and I use that all the time. The website is a bit more granular I thought and offers an easier way to make conversions.Assuming that most people here using Windows. It's build in:
Ok, a year and a half later, I'm still fighting this demon. I can't seem to get my head around this. Let's make it really simple. I have an HO layout that has a base height of 50" off the floor. What is that magical number in Trainz units. If you can give me that number, I'll figure out how you got there. It's not mm's, cm's or meters.
50mm is ROUGHLY 2 inches
50cm is ROUGHLY 19.5 inches
50m is ROUGHLY... too high...lol
I know that MRR fascia is "65", but that's "65", what?
It just seems much harder then it needs to be.

The Roman calendar changed often and seldom made sense. Some months were extended and some months shortened. Here is one article on it.

Multiple inches by 2.4 gives you 120 which divided by 100 for meters is 1.2 meters exactly.

This asset has both metric and imperial measurements.
On a test, I dropped the ground level by -15.05 and the 50" mark was at the water level 0 same as ground level. 50" = Trainz depth of 15.05
https://trainroster.com/model-railroad-scale-calculator/ = 50" or 127 cm

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks. So bottom line is one Trainz vertical unit doesn't correspond to any whole measuring unit. Curious what was originally used as a scale.
