I can see some accurate measurements needed for those who 3D print... I have found this information very helpful... Thanks for sharing...

[@ShitBrick785]

I thought the same. When I heard him say he doesn't use it at all. I was like clearly he doesn't 3D print. I almost skipped the vid because of it haha.

[@noobandfriends2420]

I modeled up a meet and greet space for an event we're doing this spring. Regional boss comes in and asks me if I could give what he's looking at to a production company and have them build it. Since I made my meshes with presentation in mind, not building plans, I told him I'd have to remodel it in Vectorworks. Using the measure tool, I don't need to redo anything, just get a bunch of shots of the model and bam, all done.

FINALLY A GOOD RULER TUTORIAL

[@Mircose]

hi.. how do I keep the measure visible when I click on "move" or some other tool?.. the measure I made only appears if I click on measure.. why?

[@thenoobpianist9527]

Amazing! Didn't know about the snapping thing until now(being a beginner)

[@TutsByKai]

Happy to help!

[@nib10]

How can I lock the measurements on the screen while doing something else?

[@tdmf5955]

most clean opening

[@yamatomatooo]

Real

[@its3amagain.]

Life saver!! Wanted to do this in the 3D printer slicer but it's so buggy and laggy.. so I was hoping it's possible in blender too. Nice.

[@DonaldDrennan]

I have an object with many parts that is supposed to be 16" wide, but it's 695" wide. How do I scale the whole group of objects to the correct size? Can I do this with the measurement tool?

[@jbi1839]

Hi, can you show me how to measure the distance between two objects' origin points? Thank you!

[@Gametime05577]

thanks

[@kingsleychenteachesyou5370]

Thanks what if you have a bevel edge and you want it to be perfectly across is there a short cut or somthing thanks.

[@Pand45]

Exactly what I needed thank you

[@varundhiman13]

your intros are f*😁😍😍 awesome

[@mayorc]

Not that good, if you edit the object the measure will stay there unchanged, it's not easy to remove multiple measure as well, much easier using MeasureIT tools addon, if I do remember it's already integrated in Blender just need to be enabled, it will allow to keep measures angles and other things between points, they will remain visibile or be hidden, if you update geometry both in edit or objetct mode those measures will update too.

[@polygon_doodelz]

omg im gonna use this!

[@rawr2u190]

Ohh thank you

[@abstrct7]

Wrong place but better than Starbucks bo 😃❤️

[@stevenbmitems]

loved that intro

[@nicrogx]

Actually is pretty useful. I was asked to make a real life object into an stl file. So measurement is key

[@AberrantAberrant]

Gave a thumbs up just for that unique intro alone

[@dez7852]

As always, short and helpful. five stares 😶😶😶😶😶

[@animationandotherstuff2398]

best intros on youtube

[@TutsByKai]

Wow thank you very much :D

[@oplkfdhgk]

thank you. this was very helpful. :)

[@nishantojha7219]

Thank you very much

[@TimEn-iq5id]

How do I convert the units of measurement?

[@NavySturmGewehr]

Is there a way to get the x,y,z dimensions from the measure? Say I want to measure two vertices but I want to know the difference between them on one axis?

[@roblmurphy4135]

We may have to figure this out; I do it with CAD all day, but with Blender it's almost impossible. (so far. Blender is getting better)

[@NavySturmGewehr]

@@roblmurphy4135 I really wish there would be.a stronger push to build a cad like parametric modeler in blender. It's not like artists couldn't use it either. I'm kind of hindered since moving to macos. I like simple things like openscad but it has no use in the real world. Freecad works, but I hate using it. I cut my teeth on acad 2004, had a fair amount of time in inventor 2011... fusion 360 was pretty good until they really started screwing with their licensing.

[@roblmurphy4135]

@@NavySturmGewehr Yeah. I learned on Autocad, but they're the darth vader of industry so I moved to Rhino, an employee owned company. Not so much parametric as surface modeling, but a wonderful program for me. Blender is amazing, but tough to learn, awkward to use, and weird about simple things like CAD. I'm sticking with it anyway.

[@indianeinstein1978]

is it possible to snap measure point on grid ?

[@jennychou6571]

Thank you!

[@tedsword]

This doesn't work for me. If I snap to two vertices of a known distance and measure it, I get a wildly different number than what I expect. Then if I pan around, I discover that the measurement line originates at some point clearly not attached to the first vertex. I can't seem to get it to snap to both vertices. 😢

[@zimmmerit6308]

TY very much!

[@zhaopinye823]

thx for the tutorial , jst a quick question , does the measure tool do continuous clickable points like the pen tool ? or it only can measure with two point ( one distance & one angle ) at time..?

[@therealKrak]

Is there a way to snap to rulers with the knife tool or just in general? That would make the ruler tool so much more powerful.

[@michaelowenchandras]

hold ctrl

[@arbolito3489]

you Thanks 👍

how measure radius of an arc?

How to change number to my own number!

[@schonkigplavuis8850]

what a freakin intro hahahaha

[@KN-xn2ee]

@TutsByKai Blender 3.0 Beta is out, just saying

[@TutsByKai]

Not really a huge deal to switch instantly.

[@KN-xn2ee]

@@TutsByKai I mean,,, the interface has changed a bit. (It looks cooler honestly)

[@AleksanderNevskij47]

NOT METERS, MILIMETERS !!!!

[@iamvartist]

thanks
