I have a modeling 101 question for all you modelers. What is the standard method of designing models to work with the atmospheres 3D architecture like buildings?

I was thinking you just make a doorway that is compatible with the player model height and width, and build off of that, but that would mean you'de have to build all you models first. If that's the case what's a good height for say a humanoid model?

75 generic units would be a good start, its what the characters in enemy territory use.

Aye, you should always determine a game scale first in world coordinates. Depending on the game, one unit can be an inch, a meter, a kilometer, etc. A fair number of people like to use 1 unit equal to one meter since that allows for a good mental connection between the two scales. The default camera range is 5,000 units. Most FPS scaled games don't look beyond 500 meters so .1 meter per unit is also a good scale. In the end, it's up to you to choose a scale based on your design.
