Measure line

Use the Line tab to display the distance, angle, and elevation between two points.

— Click to display the Measure Difference tab. Click two points on the model to measure the distance and display the apparent angles.

For example:

The Measure Difference tab closes and updates the Line dialog with the distance between the two points and the apparent angles.

Note: The other fields are calculated from these two points.

Start Point — Displays the coordinates of the first selected point.

End Point — Displays the coordinates of the second selected point.

Difference — Displays the difference in X, Y, and Z between the Start Point and the End Point.

Angle — Displays the angles in the XY, YZ, and ZX planes between the Start Point and the End Point.

Elevation — Displays the angle of the line joining the Start Point to the End Point to the principal working plane.

Note: Changing your principal working plane in the Information toolbar changes the angle measured here.

Distance — Displays the length of a line joining the Start Point to the End Point.
