Gmod units...?

[XanyholesagoalX]

What unit of measurement does gmod use and if it doesnt use a specific unit of measurement what is the equivelant in imperal and metric? I think a lot of people could be helped with detailed builds.

Thanks

I think a single unit in the source engine equates to a single real life inch.

Ok thanks now just for some simple conversions and i should be sitting good.

IIRC, one unit == 3/4 inch

A player is 96 units tall in Hammer, so that equates to 5.7 feet tall.

And Google calculator says
5.7 feet = 1.73736 meters

Edit:
Here, use this E2 Measurer I made :)
How to use it (after copying the code into the E2 Editor of course).
1: Spawn it
2: Click your Use key somewhere (default E)
3: Click it again somewhere else
4: Tadaa

@name Measurer E2
@outputs Dist
@persist [Pos1 Pos2]:vector Step Hold Dist Printed
if (first()|duped()) {
