Name confusions aside (two different suggested meanings for LU), the
measurement equalling 1/10 interstud width (.8 mm) seems like a most
excellent basic unit of measurement with which >99% of bounding-box
measurements can be given as integers.

But 1/20 is even better.  Trust me, I use it all the time.

Let me see then -- so 1/20 of a Gyugyi LU is equal to 1/2 of a Gyugyi dLU is
equal to 2 Jessiman LDU?


Sometimes, I have a hard time down-converting to something I can discuss
with other people without explaining myself.

Studs are spaced at 20 pitch,
Plates are 8 units high.
Bricks go up 24 ticks,
And I can't make this rhyme.

(...) Almost. 1/20 Gyugyi LU = *1* Jessiman LDU = .4 mm. Steve (25 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
