Can someone please fix and reupload this thing? It might be a convenience for everyone.

It should be noted that this tool measures at Source's "Architectural scale" of 16 units to a foot. Characters in Source are undersized at 12 units to a foot. This is not a mistake.

go into GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons > get the addon and drag it on top of gmad.exe located in GarrysMod/bin

how did you decompile this?

otherwise player height will be 4'5. using what i did makes it 6 feet. please could you fix it and update the tool? I decompiled, fixed it quick and easy and now it works as it should but no one else will benefit from this.

the only correct value that comes out of the tool is source units because it is multiplied by 25% (divided by 0.75) all other calculations are incorrect and need this same treatment so from lines 19 through 28 you should do that.
["ft"] = 1 / 12 - wrong
["ft"] = (1 / 12) / 0.75 - correct

line 18 - ["u"] = 1 / 0.75 - this shouldn't change.

The one foot to 12 source units would be more accurate than the 1 to 16 that is currently used with this tool...

Why not use a Real Measuring Stick?

This sadly, no longer works. As of the recent gmod update.

To the creator:
If your conversion calculations are off, please check this page and recalculate them: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dimensions#Map_Grid_Units:_quick_reference

Ok, if you're using this tool and complaining about the unit conversion, just convert them yourself from source units

It works well.

Using this is a lot better than using two large plates and a Wire Mod range finder for measuring builds, it would have been nice to have this in the old version of Gmod.

I love this, i've been waiting for one of these for a long time.
