About this mod

10 metre height staff to measure in game objects. Compass which orientates itself after self levelling.

Permissions and credits
Introduction
A toolbox in the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood contains a portable 10 metre height staff and a compass.

Installation
Please use NMM to install. There should be no conflict with other mods and no other mods or SKSE are required.

Use
The toolbox can be found in the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood, near the serving table. Within, can be found:

1. The vertical height staff which can be taken to any location and dropped (find in Misc category, press R to drop). The height staff will find its own level and then straighten itself to vertical if there is room. Outside would be a good place! Heights can then be read from the graduated scale. Pick it up again to place elsewhere.

2. A compass which can be dropped (or grabbed/released). It will float and self level, then orientate itself to North with confirmatory bearing notifications.

The Creation Kit tutorials suggest the following dimensions apply to Skyrim:
10 metres == 70 Units in Blender == 700 Units in Creation Kit.

Credits
I made this after I needed accurate worldmap dimensions taken from UK Ordnance Survey Terrain 5 height data.
Anyone interested in real world mapping -> Skyrim please get in contact with me.
I have horizontal staffs which I have used in Creation Kit & could make available if requested.
I would particularly wish to thank the NifTools team and contributors to Blender and of course Bethesda.
