Unit
Everything in the Creation Kit is measured in "units".
- The game's measurement system is scaled so that 128 world units is equal to 6 feet.
- An exterior cell is 4096 by 4096 world units across, or 192 by 192 feet across.
- Heightmapped terrain within a single cell is 32 by 32 vertices across.
- Havok collision data uses meters as its unit of measurement.
The conversion formulae:
- Havok units to game units: hk × 69.99125 = wu
- Game units to feet: wu × 0.046875 = ft
This table aims to give an approximation, though the numbers are much less precise then their significant digits may imply.
