Note:Metric conversions are partially done.Source Engine Scale Calculations
The Source Engine 'game unit' corresponds to the Grid Unit in Hammer and XSI editors. The Scale used for Source game maps and models is based on the Imperial Foot so Metric measurements do not translate easily.
Note:Some handy online measurement conversion calculators include distance and speed. A very basic Vista Sidebar gadget is available here to calculate map units (no others) from real world units (meter, centimeter, inch and foot). There is also another useful tool, which integrates into Hammer, for converting all three types of game units into metric or imperial units on-the-fly all the while working on objects. And lastly a small standalone application for converting map, character model, prop model, and sky box units to and from metric and imperial units.Note:Hammer units are equal to 3DSMax's generic units. Same rule applies for Blender (both pre 2.79 and 2.8+)- Maps, architecture and some prop models use a scale of 1 foot = 16 units. This means that 1 unit = 0.01905 meters.
- Skyboxes (which are 1/16th scale of ordinary maps) use 1 foot = 1 unit. This means that 1 unit = 0.3048 meters.
- Human Character models and certain other models for Source Engine currently use 1 foot = 12 units.
Texturemaps are applied to Models and Brushwork in the Source Engine and are therefore scaled relative to game units.
- At the default Texturemap scale (0.25) 1 texture pixel = 0.25 x 0.25 units (or 4x4 texels = 1 grid unit). Eg: an (undistorted) 512 x 512 texture covers 128 x 128 game units.
- At the default Lightmap scale (16) 1 lightmap pixel = 16 x 16 units.
Speed is usually given in map-units per second. To convert this to Miles per Hour, multiply by (15/352).

Skyboxes
Unit Imperial Metric
1 skybox grid unit = 1' ≈ 0.3m
1 mile = 5,280' ≈ 1500m (1/4 mile = 1,320')
1 acre = 66' x 660' ≈ 20m x 200m (209' x 208')
100 yards = 300' ≈ 90m
100 meters = 328' = 100m
1 hectare = 328' x 328' = 100m x 100m
2 hectares = 656' x 328' = 200m x 100m (=464 x 464 ft).
3 hectares = 984' x 328' = 300m x 100m (=568 x 568 ft)
4 hectares = 656' x 656' = 200m x 200m
