    How to Scale

    Spoiler

    Scaling formula
    The formula itself is really easy;
    desired height ÷ scale 1 height

    You can either do it manually through calculations, best done with inches or centimetres; examples below.

    Or, an alternative and easy way to do is is copy the scale 1 height of your race and gender from above, all units of measurement work for this, go to Google and simply paste it into the Google search bar.

    As an example, search either one of these for a male human:

    6'3" / 6'0.8435" = 1.029604
    75 / 72.8435 = 1.029604
    190.5 / 185.0224392 = 1.029604

    Thanks Google for finally fixing the feet/inches calculations to not use base 10.

    Imperial system - inches
    Human male: 6'4"

    Start by converting the desired height into inches by either:

    1. Typing "6'4 in inches" in Google.
    2. Converting it manually:  <6 * 12 + 4 = 76>
      12 inches go into 1 foot, so simply multiply the amount of feet by 12 and then add onto any extra inches.

    Once you've got the desired height in inches, simply divide it by the scale 1 height in inches for male humans, which can be found in the list above.

    Scale 1 in inches:  72.8435

    76 ÷ 72.8435 ~1.043

    Metric system - centimeters
    Human male: 193.04 cm

    Scale 1 in centimeters:  185.0224392

    193.04 ÷ 185.0224392 ~1.043

    You can just double-click and copy the scale 1 height values in the list above, or round up the numbers to the first or second decimal to make the process quicker.

    Personally I find converting feet/inches to inches and getting my scale that way to be quicker, but it's up to you whichever you prefer. I simply know both systems.

    How to Measure Models Manually

    Spoiler

    This is best suited for non-player models.

    To be the most accurate, do the following:

    1. Find some flat ground
    2. Stand as straight as possible.
      Can be achieved with the spell [120650 - Pose].
      Using [16245 - Freeze Anim] at the apex of an animation (such as the case for male worgen (and saberon) standing at their tallest during the /kiss animation).

    Make these into macros (not all are needed)

    • 1 inch: .gps u 0.02777777777777777777777777777778 - Recommended
    • 6 inches: .gps u 0.16666666666666666666666666666667 - Recommended
    • 1 foot: .gps u 0.33333333333333333333333333333333 - Recommended
    • 2 feet: .gps u 0.66666666666666666666666666666667 - Optional
    • 3 feet (1 yard): .gps u 1 - Optional, faster for taller models, easy to write
    • 6 feet (2 yards): .gps u 2 - Optional, faster for taller models, easy to write

    How to measure a model

    1. Enter a phase.
    2. Use macros to reach desired height when on flat ground.
    3. Spawn an object you can accurately use as the measure. I personally use 815303 - [axistestobject.m2]
    4. Scale until you reach it with the tallest part of your character's head/body.

    Update - 10/05/2019

    I recently found a way to get the exact model heights for every playable race, thus it was time to start updating this page.

    I've re-designed the post itself a bit, changed wording, toned down the colour usage and various other things to hopefully make it easier on the eyes. I also changed the calculator links to a much better alternative, it is the most accurate converter I've found and is something I used in the making of the height chart below.

    Added dwarves to the list because apparently I forgot them lmao. Also added Kul Tirans and Zandalari rather than forgetting to do it later.

    In this update I'll include my personally made player model height chart I made using WMV, Blender and Photoshop, as it is currently the most accurate one to date. (Goblins and worgen will be added once their model updates are out.)
