Hammer units, also known as HU, are a unit of measurement used by Source Engine games. It is also used to judge the speed of objects and players in-game, mostly for Competitive play. 1 Hammer Unit is the minimum distance the Source Engine can measure.

  • For character models 1 Hammer unit corresponds to 1/12th of a foot (~ 25mm)
  • For maps 1 Hammer unit corresponds to 1/16th of a foot (~ 19mm)
  • The Map and Props use a scale of 1 foot = 16 units.
  • The Skybox as it is a 1/16th scale uses a scale of 1 foot = 1 unit.
  • The Player models use a scale of 1 foot = 12 units.
