Something that I've found helpful is the facility to
adjust your units, according to the detail you're
trying to capture. For example, if you use AU
(Astronomical Units) and you're rendering the
solar system, perhaps setting AU to 1.0 makes
sense. But, if you want to model leaves on a
tree on earth, 1 Meter should equal 1.0 and
AU something much larger. (Lack of precision
of the position of Jupiter is not so much of
an issue in this situation)
Not a general solution, but a helpful technique.
