Measuring Data Objects

The Measure tool () is used to measure distances in three-dimensional space. This tool can be found in the tool strip on the right-hand side of the 3D scene:

Click the Measure tool, then click on objects in the scene to measure the distance between them:

The Measure tool stays active so you can make as many measurements as required. Simply click the Clear button to start a new measurement:

In the 3D scene, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which object you have clicked on. If this is the case, you can:

• Zoom in to click on an object, then zoom out and pan to select the second object.
• Change the properties of the object you wish to measure to make them easier to click on.
• Hide objects in the scene that obscure the objects you wish to measure.
