I'm having trouble correlating Octane's displacement units with real-world units. I've been having the same difficulty in MAX and SketchUp. I've used a height of 0.01 to displace siding 3/8" and to displace grass 6". I'm stumped. Help?

displacement units are meters.

I had no idea this was a real number. Must have a look now

Meters, eh? I'll have to experiment a bit to test that with my scene. Would be nice if it honored scene units.
Thanks!

+1 for scene units adaptation.
I'm always working in centimeters and almost everytime I need to tweak my displacement map because I can't use a value lower than 0.001
