![[OO] Avatar Ruler - precise height detector](https://slm-assets.secondlife.com/assets/4397979/lightbox/doboz_avatar%20ruler.jpg?1318252797){kind=avatar}
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Due to an old bug, the outdated freebie height detectors are giving wrong results - usually much lower values than your avatar's actual height, and almost every viewer's appearance editor is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. :)

Spot on! 10/10
I've found this scale by Oriolus and the "Avatar Height Scale" by Nadia Swizzle to be the most accurate height rulers, both of them measure the same and are free but are visually different; I use both of them together, side by side. Make sure you are not wearing any shoes (LL shoes nor mesh shoes) and your hover height is set to 0.00 before measuring.
There are instances where the "[OO] Avatar Ruler" script is off (because your mesh avatar is vastly different in height from your transparent LL body), that's where you can use both of these to visually look and see if it lines up. Measure twice, do it right!
It's a game changer to set proper heights for my avatars, buildings and furniture using these!
CLEARLY ACCURATE
I "bought" this metre and it works just fine, plus its free. Who can complain if it mucks up sometimes? Super helpful tool
CLEARLY INACCURATE
I bought this meter because I go to a place that uses one now and I have an issue because.. well I present to you the evidence.... https://gyazo.com/64be212598582eea0009ae83a574f8d7 Clearly I am much taller than the meter is reading me at, so.....
Accurate about prims
Accurate, do the right one about prims sizes, its possible get an update that autodetect from ppl landing inside a sim with collision and/or just detects when people lands in a sim?
Very accurate (but maybe use with discretion)
Very accurate and you will find that even midget avatars in SL are actually closer to 6'-0" tall in a true to scale environment but the truth is SL is anything but reality and I am not so sure we want it be. When scale accuracy becomes the most important consideration I think there are other games and hobbies better suited to our time and money than SL. In any case use with caution or only on select sims as the snarky chat comments will likely piss off 99% of your visitors. If that's what you want this is great for that!
Doesn't actually work.
Seems to use llAgentHeight which doesn't actually give an accurate height estimate. If you rezz a prim and convert the size to the height you want ((Such as 5"5)) you will notice the difference. Try varying heights, and as another user will point out, the meter either doesn't change or changes very little.
