Dimension of AW (Community)
Dimension of AW // Communityctc oneMar 21, 2001, 1:56pm
Does anyone know how the dimensions in AW relate to those in Real Life?
(ex. 1 unit in AW = 10 inches in real life) Thanks, -CTC One just inMar 21, 2001, 2:36pm

The dimensions are pretty much kept true to life... using the metric system. Each unit of measurement is equal to one decameter (ten meters). If you open an rwx file... say a pp01.rwx, in your text editor, you will see that the dimensions are .4 high and .4 wide. ..4 of a decameter is 4 meters. Now go take a walk with your human type avatar next to pp01 and you will see your avatar stands a little less than half the height of it. In fact most of the Alpha avatars can fit under anything lifted 2 meters above ground, and the average hieght of adults is within the 1.5 to 1.75 meter range (5 to 6 feet). As a final note, a meter can be reached with 2 presses of any movement key when building (arrows or the plus or minus keys). An example of this is the walk001h.rwx which is 20 x 20 clicks wide and deep, which equals 10 x 10 meters, which equals 1 x 1 decameter, which equals the width and depth of one "cell" in Active Worlds.
