    We should really have a tool that creates a scale. You could put a prop on it and it will show the props weight. Could be really useful.

    Use the weight tool to find out props' weights.
    Grammar is the difference between "helping your uncle, Jack, off his horse" and "helping your uncle jack off his horse".

    A scale would have an advantage over a STool, if, say, you wanted to do something when the weight is what you want...

    (like, say, for a realistic elevator, if the weight of the load in it is more than what you want, the elevator wont work, though this particular example can be done with the pressure pad STool (though this would take up a numpad key). You get the idea - it would be useful in some circumstances.)
    Common sense no longer applies.

    i did make a working set of scales accurate to +/- 3 units, so an object weighing 200 would read between 197-203 roughly

    Only problem was despite you could change the height of the top panel to allow for more weight, it was quite unstable.
