Eh...

So the distance gets bigger the higher you go in the building..
The change in getpos height is like 0.00000xxx meters, but the distance grows by meters between floors... ???

Do I smell getPosInBuilding function coming?  :D

So, did distance between unit and its position increase?

EDIT: So it does. Quite interesting. That means the real height of a unit is its current height plus the distance between the unit and its position. May be this is the data LCD and Mr. Peanut were looking for  ;)

mmmmm
how about repeating the test, but this time getting:
unitname distance (unitname modelToWorld [0,0,0])
