This handy little device is the most precise scripted avatar height measuring tool available today.
Due to an old bug, the outdated freebie height detectors are giving wrong results - usually much lower values than your avatar's actual height, and almost every viewer's appearance editor is giving totally different values.
The only precise measuring tool today is a proportionally scaled pole - like this one - with a scripted indicator to help reading your height. (You can clearly see your avatar's actual height if you stand next to this pole - and you can compare this value to the scripted indicator's result. Our goal is to keep the two numbers as close as possible by a script.)
This product is a 250 cm high wooden meter pole to show your avatar's height in standard international centimeters and British imperial units (feet & inches) - counting your shoes. It also remarks if someone's avatar is unnaturally tall for being a human.
Everybody knows the typical children's illness of newbies: the "Ogre Stature Disease" - so I have decided to give this away as a freebie to help everyone making nice and more realistic avatars.
Please feel free to take our gift - use it, or even throw it away and write a bad review if you woke up in a bad mood. :)

SL Scale Needs to be adjusted for content creators
Uggh, and I thought I had the 'average' shape until I went to a club and found this free sizer that said I was like 6'11, and I already felt small (due to SL's huge scale for everything).
Now I'm a realistic 5'8 average, but now I look and feel like a small child... But it must be done to force some kind of standard into SL, instead of playing ogres and superhuman sizes
Brilliant!
So proud that I don't have the dreadful Ogre Stature disease. Best avatar ruler so far. And, it looks vintage, too! Thank you.
Quite accurate
I like the fact it gives you an average of other avatars' height to guide you. Awesome tool
Great!
Accurate enough (measured against an in world prim I made myself), Clever (Two prims useful to see where your height falls on the scale), attractive (I wouldn't put it in a museum, but I feel fine leaving it out in my avi's apartment) and FREE.
