Which are the dimensions (in cm) of the model of the archive virgil.act (of the feet until the head)?
P.S.: Knowing the size in cm I will have an idea of that so great it must draw doors, houses, tables, etc...

There is no size in CM for it. There is no real life unit which corrisponds with units in RF. The trick is to use the egyptian shadow method: Measure an object in real life, measure another object in real life, and get the ratio between them. For instance, measure your height, measure the height of a doorframe, then get the ratio between them (IE doorframe = 8 feet, you = 6 feet, as an example). So here the ratio would be 8 over 6, both feet. Then pick a sensible measurement for height of either the doorframe or your player (I would reccomend your player), say this is 128 units. so we have simple algebra now, 8 over 6 = x over 128. cross multiply:
8 * 128 = 1024
6 * x = 6x
Divide both sides by 6 (the number which is multiplying the unknown quantity, x), and the result is approximately:
x = 170
So in this case, you should make your doorframe 170 units tall, which makes your player 6 feet tall in relation to the doorframe which is 8 feet tall.
Hope that made sense.
