Measure Distance¶
Select Measurement Data as Distance to enable the function for measuring the distance.
The steps for measuring the distance is as follows:
- Tap any position on the model to add 2 points.
- After adding 2 points, they will be automatically connected, and the straight line distance (mm) will be displayed; if you add another point, the previous connection will be removed, and a new line will start from the new point.
Note
You can drag the points to adjust their position, and the distance value will be updated in real time.
The steps for measuring the distance is as follows:
1. Click on any position on the model to add 2 points.
2. After adding 2 points, they will be automatically connected, and the straight line distance & geodesic distance (mm) will be displayed; if you add another point, the previous connection will be removed, and a new line will start from the new point.
