I guess that would work, but it would probably be better to just make the height in the box that pops up (or select it and push enter). Because otherwise, if you accidentally made the height 2 instead of 1, you'd end up with a building that's 350 meters, which is... slightly taller than the upper city.
He didn't say to scale it, he said to select the top polygon and translate it to a height of 175.

It's actually not exactly one meter. Mav's building was supposed to be 178 m tall, but it's onnly 123.77 meter. XSI's squares do not equal exactly one meter. So you should make it taller in XSI than just 175. Maybe about 200 or 250.
EDIT: Also, Mav, how'd you find out the height you were at?

1) It
is exactly one meter.
2) You have no idea the exact height of my building, since you've never stood on it.
3) 123.77 is the height of the untextured prefab of Rep's included with the .wld file (or at least the height on it at which I was standing)
4) Fake console has a "PrintPlayerCoords" option.

Okay then. I got confused.

Now I have to resist converting another 4 or 5 starship models of his.
Edit: So maybe 1 more. They're just so nice. And different.

CLOAKSHAPE!

I will, but remember that the E-Wing and Cloakshape aren't mine - they're EvilleJedi's, I just converted them. I'll release them in a pack with all my starfighters.

For those fo you that don't know, I'm making a building that will take up the entire D-block and it will have a lot of things in it: the train station, a mall, apartments, a connection to the upper city, and an executive cocktail bar and lounge, etc.
So here are some props I've made
Restaurant Chair
Store Counter
Restaurant Table
Video Game Shelf
Clothing Racks (these are my favorites

)
And the main 'Demporium' I've been working on.
The thing in the foreground is going to be the mall. The thing to the right is rep's repair depot. The round thing in the background is the train station.

One question: I highly doubt it, but does the "what I'm listening to" actually update? 'Cuz otherwise it seems pretty pointless

But very nice job. And btw, the two hiding are Metaknight and Donkey Kong Kirby.

Thanks! What do you mean update? What I'm listening to never updates
Actually, my mom wanted me to download U can't touch this. I didn't feel like taking it out since I listen to it too.
