Hi, I'm trying to make some scaffolding for stations but I've hit a snag. So far, the image description returns dimensions in pixels. I, however, plan to place the scaffold using overlays, and the problem is that ObjSetOverlay requires for the argument to be in light seconds. I have no clue how each measurement is related to each other.
Is there a better way to make a dynamic scaffold graphic for different sized stations? That might solve my problem, but I highly doubt there is.
What's the scale for pixels to light seconds?

Distance
Having nothing to do with scale, but with positioning and travel distance.
From TSE/TSETypes.h
Light_Speed = Light_Second = 299792.5 km
Klicks_Per_Pixel = 12500.0
Therefore 1 light_second = 23.9834 pixels (how did I get 18.3something last time?)
