Duplicating a character's height?

I am trying to roll a second version of one of my characters. However, I don't know what the height of the original character is. To my disappointment, the costume save/load feature doesn't save height.

Is there a solution for this? Is there a way I could roughly measure my original character's height so I can duplicate it?

Stand next to a contact/trainer that's close to your height and take a picture?

ugh... You get that ruler behind you on the creation screen but not at the tailor. I can come up with a time-consuming workaround. Take the first character to Atlas Park (or Galaxy City) and stand next to a landmark, like the trainer. Take a screenshot if you need to.

Create a new toon with the blank costume and make note of the height on that ruler in the background. Then go to the same zone and stand next to the same landmark. Repeat until you get the right height.

I can't think of an easier way offhand.

I just create a BS generic toon really quick and trial and error. I log out and check the character creation screen and click back and forth between the generic toon and the character I want to duplicate. Eventually after 2 or 3 tries I get it right. Takes only about 5 mins.

This will only work in the character creation screen, not in the regular costume screen.

Open your *.costume file with notepad.
For example, one of my tall characters has a line that says this:
Scale 36

Load your costume
Press Back
Set Your height
Press Next
Press SAVE
Save it as checkheight (or TEMP, or something else)

Then open the new file and see if Scale is higher or lower.
Press Back and adjust as needed, then resave.
Check the file again.
Repeat until you get a matching or near-matching value to the height you wanted.
