Question about module height and hp

Development
1

Is the vertical spacing of Rack’s rows scaled to 3U (ignoring that one can zoom in/out in view), and for modules that are ported from hardware (such as the Mutable Instruments Rings/Audible Instruments Resonator) true to the hp?

2

Modules are 128.5 mm height and with a width multiple of 5.08 mm

thanks! Any insight on why the height is shy of 3U, while the width is accurate to 1HP?

Module front panels are all 3U high (1U = 1.75 inch = 1.75" = 44.45mm, 3U = 133.4 mm). The final height of the front panels is a bit less than 133.4 mm as the rim of the mounting rails has to taken into considerattion. Consequently the final height is 128.5 mm for all A-100 front panels.
