How to find out the height of my character

I need to figure out my character's height.  Is there a way to pull the real-world equivalent height from inside DS 6 ?

    If without using Measure Metrics plugin ? You can use a primitive plane + Align plugin, i.e. stack the plane onto your character, then check Y Translate of the pane... as shown in the attached screenshot

    There'll be a tiny variance comparing to using Measure Metrics... but the measured value can be still usable.

    • T pose (or A pose) the figure. (No shoes)
    • Ctrl-D the figure, just in case
    • child a horizontal plane at y=0 to the figure
    • Set figure's x (or z) rotate to 180
    • Ctrl-D the figure
    • unparent the plane
    • y of plane is height of the figure.

    OK, Thank you. Makes sense

    make a cube 1 foot x 1 x 1 
    next to character scale on Y until cube and character same height read the num the number 500 is 5 ft /550 is 5-6 /525 is 5-3 /575 is 5-9 /600 is 6 ft tall.

    I haven't tried this prop. Looks free. I was searching for the one I use when I found it instead. There should be quite a few similar ones out there:

    Heres another one.
