translates between human size and minifig size, 3.5 stude per foot is

Is that lengthwise or heightwise?

Huh?  That question is a little vague.

I'll try to be more specific.  Lay a minifig down on its back.  You will
see that it's five studs high.  An average adult human is about 1.7
meters (or 5 feet, 7 inches) tall.  Divide 1.7 meters by 5 studs, and
you get 0.35 meters per stud.

A *brick* (vertical dimension) is 6/5 as tall as the distance between
studs.  So one brick, in minifig scale, is 0.42 meters tall.
