hi

what is the base scale of the engine... i mean unit... is it a meter, a feet or somethign else per pixel...??

this becomes a problem while using multiformat models / terrain...

Banana's, spitting distance, whatever you want it to be. It's not important. use whatever figure's your modeller uses. I usually create a test box that is 1x1x1 unit's of whatever I want and call that 1m^3. Then I model to this box, estimating size based upon these units.

so it is basically.. 1 unit....whther the modeller has any units set is irrelevant??

just clarifying...

cause then i got to rerun all my modles through one modellere with a set scale/unit

It is good practice to run it all through the same modeller and to import a size setting cube to make sure everything is the same size. It keeps things uniform across the board. AFAIK it is all stored as the same scale inside the model files, it has no measurement name, just 1,1,1 etc.
