the position parameters are given in cubits (or was it fathoms?), which happens to be the same unit as [translate] works with.
head mounted display and I want to present a steroe figure in a defined distance.
also note that if you are loading a model, the coordinates of the vertices will be automagically converted from meters to fathoms (or was it cubits?).
happy measuring
