How to get one model's height and weight?

I have a naive question.
How to find one full-body model's height and weight?(for example, gait2354_simbody.osim)
It seems that full-body weight can be calculated by sum all body parts' weight.
(for example,
<Body name="pelvis">
<mass>11.777</mass>
...
</Body>)
But I can't find the way to get full-body height.

There is a sentence, "The default, unscaled version of these models represents a subject that is about 1.8 m tall and has a mass of 75.16 kg.", in the user guide.
How can I figure out the height only by the *.osim file?

Thanks in advance

You could add each bodies mass located in the osim file.

For the height, you could put 1 marker on the base of the foot and one marker on the top of the head and get get linear "y" distance.
