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Due to an old bug, the outdated freebie height detectors are giving wrong results - usually much lower values than your avatar's actual height, and almost every viewer's appearance editor is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
This is good
Useful and works perfectly, thanks for this nice freebie!
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.
