Request... Dispacement map subdivision size

Whenever I download an MXM file that uses displacement, I have to spend quite a while trying to figure out the intended scale of the displacement as it relates to the size of the object's subdivision. To complicate this process, I can't work in metric so I have to translate units a lot to get things to work. Am I missing something, or do others have to go through a trial and or process like me?

I think it makes sense for users who post MXMs to the MXM Gallery to tell us how big the subdivisions are on the object being displaced... Yes?

For example, on a plane that is to be grass, the settings used for a particular MXM with displacement might be 12"x12" subdivisions.

Just check "adaptive". :wink:

It would be nice, though if setting adaptive would let you see the final settings that it settled on.
