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.

The following is a user-friendly conversion table:
