Model 7 is half-scale in KrystalShaper:

The distance values given here in KrystalShaper are half the values measured along the wooden model.

Distances are measured from the origin of the coordinate system and the {110} plane is 1.225 centimeters from the origin in the model; however, 0.612 is entered in KrystalShaper.

The distance between the parallel planes {110} and {-1 -1 0} is 2.45 centimeters.
