Determining NSTableView height when doing layout in IB

Hi all, Is it just me, or does IB not really provide a way to nicely set the height of a tableview? I would like for my tableviews to have a height such that an integer number of rows fit, without any half rows visible. Something like: height of scroll view containing tableview = height of table
