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.

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

Image

Store Counter

Image

Restaurant Table

Image

Video Game Shelf

Image

Clothing Racks (these are my favorites :lol: )

Image

Image

And the main 'Demporium' I've been working on.

Image

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.

Awesome, those video game covers are really detailed. Nice job.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Here's a few new things.
A shot of the upper city addon to my house.
Image
A new transparent media room.(I might get rid of the transparency later)
Image
A shot of a few cellos and the music I'm playing right now.(For all you cello players, I know I forgot the F-holes. I realized it right after I took the shot.)
Image
What I'm listening to right now.
Image
A movie theater type thing, I'll use it to advertise any Kirby tributes :D(There's a place to sit in front of the screen but for some reason it's transparent)
Image
I added some boxes to the Kirby area. And who's that peeking around the corner. :D
Image
Looking out of my Warpstar garage shaft thing
Image
What's that emerging from the ground?!
Image
On the upper city extension, the Kirby Cafe!(I'll showcase stuff here and add a few more things in. It's nothing special just a place to hang out and look at Kirby stuff)
Image
The Kirby Cafe is entirely transparent so that you can look at the wonderful city below.

A shot of the elevator coming up.

One question: I highly doubt it, but does the "what I'm listening to" actually update? 'Cuz otherwise it seems pretty pointless :P But very nice job. And btw, the two hiding are Metaknight and Donkey Kong Kirby.
