A great, accurate tool that I'd love to see an update for.

I'd love to see a mesh version with materials that provides the info when your avatar physically steps on it and stands there for several seconds.

There's a 1-star review on this item claiming the height is wrong. The person who posted this is incorrect.

There's a scripting feature called llGetAgentSize that is supposed to return the avatar's height. It is broken, it has always been broken. But for too long every scripted tool to get an avatar's height used this feature and gave the wrong height, leading people to believe they were shorter than they were.

In addition, around 2011 LL added avatar height to the appearance editor. Unfortunately, they decided to use the same incorrect information llGetAgentSize uses. They knew full well this was incorrect but did it anyway. Their explanation was that they could fix it somewhat, but it would still possibly be off by 1-3 centimetres (about 1-2 inches), so they felt it would be better to provide a height that was definitely off by 15+cm (about half a foot) and maybe give it a 100% accurate fix in the future. They have also stated that they will never, ever, provide such a fix. I wish I were making that up.

Firestorm and other third party viewers implemented a fix within a very short time of LL introducing height to the appearance editor, but true to their word, LL has kept the incorrect height information.

However, there is a 100% accurate method of measuring an avatar. Place your barefoot/hairless avatar on a pose stand and stretch a prim from the bottom of the feet to the top of the skull. The size of the resulting prim will be your avatar's actual height.

The creator of this scale uses some math tricks to take the llGetAgentSize information, subtract the amount it is off by, and the resulting height it provides is, if not 100% accurate, then it is at least within a few centimetres of your actual height. By far more accurate than whatever method the 1-star review poster uses.

It was easy to use, click to stand on it and it pops you off afterwards.
The info about your name and picture uuid is a little redundant and useless information, imo.
I do love that it calculates my height INCLUDING my heels. This is very helpful for girls like me who enjoy high heels!
Also showing my scripts and all that is a huge bonus because I tend to get kicked from sims because I can't be bothered to take off my huds. So checking it all before I leave home is just amazing.
Only thing I'd really like to see added would be a conversion from kg to lbs for how much my estimated weight is. I love that it has cm and in though.
Overall - worth the price and at one prim I'd highly recommend it!
