It's a good explanation of the basics of the ruler tool when assembling from the start. But what I want is somebody to show me (or tinkercad to provide), a measuring tool so I can measure the distance perhaps between hole centers, or fractional units. So far, haven't been able to find that. Not w/o a lot of ungrouping/regrouping on complicated parts.

[@bradnelson3595]

That is by far the best and most complete explanation that I've seen of the ruler tool. Well done.

[@andy_warb]

Thank you for this… I was never able to make sense of the ruler tool and this video makes it so clear!

[@stuffoflardohfortheloveof]

Thank you very much! I've somewhat ignored the ruler as I couldn't make enough sense out of it.....watched a few other vids and nothing was anywhere near as clear as what you've presented here. It's made it clear that I can use it as a powerful tool now. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brief and to the point

[@sasalito]

Great short informative video!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That was the goal! Thanks!

[@GeAsita]

By far the best channel I've come across for a newbie like myself! Not sure why you have so few subs, but here is +1!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Oh wow thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Hope the video was helpful

[@frikkiesmit327]

Thx for video. Now i can use the ruler even better than before.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That’s great! Best of luck on your future models.

[@deltajohnny]

Great tool, and the very useful 👏👏👏 thank you very much for the great explanation! 😍😍

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment.

[@wolfman75]

Very Cool!!!! I Am Learning Alot!!!! Thank You!!!!!👍😎🔥

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That’s so awesome. You are very welcome. It makes my day knowing that they are helpful. I put a lot of work into this series. Thanks for the comments.

[@Engineerboy100]

Excellent! Thank you! Very clear and easy to understand. Now I can use the ruler instead of dimensioning blocks and moving them around to measure things lol

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Awesome glad I could add another tool to your arsenal

[@mattjgoss]

Hi, I am curious as to how you can use the ruler tool to measure the top radius/diameter of a cone. The ruler works for the bottom of the cone but not the top value and I can't seem to find a way to do this.

[@gyuunyuu]

Anything that helps get the precise length of an curved/bent object?

[@ForsakEnd999]

So there is no way to get measurements of a tapered object like a cone or bottle? It seems to only measure the widest part of the object regardless of orientation.

[@Jeroen_a]

Excellent tutorial. That ruler boggled me.... and i discovered that i was using the ruler wrong.. it does not measure inside an object (ex.a square cut out in an object)..i had to measure the cut out before i merged it...

[@magnuskarlsson7776]

I still cant figure out how to measure a hole inside an object...

[@davidsh331x]

That's not everything, actually. What if I had an imported .stl file that is a disk with a hole in the middle, and I wanted to measure the diameter of the hole? I am in a quandary... Thank you

[@dosdont]

Ya, my problem also, and nobody has a good solution it seems. What's in this video is kind of obvious, but the problem of measuring holes in parts is a huge problem for me. I know some people bring objects from the side, check their measurements and then fit them in the holes but when I've tried that, the alignment is always a little off.

[@bertyc3539]

I dont get anything like that, all I get is just a ruler...

[@Chretze]

This ruler tool is absolutely useless when you're trying to measure dimensions of an imported .stl file, unless that file is just a regular cube with nothing else lol As soon as that cube has a hole in it and you're trying to measure the dimensions of that hole, you're out of luck seemingly. At least I can't figure out how to do it in tinkercad.
