How to measure real size of the created face mesh in .STL file? #1

Hello @heinrisch ,

I have used this demo and able to export .STL file. But when I import that file in Blender or Autodesk MeshMixer , size/dimension of the the face mesh are something like ; x: 0.153 mm y: 0.104 mm z: 0.191 mm

So I want to know are these dimensions are of real face? Or I need to convert them ?

I am stuck on this, any support or guidance is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

just multiply with 1000 and you have the correct dimensions.

From your dimensions I would say you are caucasian, male, mid 30's, and you have strong chin bones ;)

Verified. Indeed it will be 1000 for the scale. This was done with very fast measuring.
