Title: view width/height/depth on non-primitives
Post by: davdud101 on July 25, 2018, 10:23:50 pm

This seems like a simple one, since it's already integrated on some objects; I do a lot of CAD in Anim8or - which, Steve, the software is really becoming great for! - but it'd be useful the Mesh Editor dialogue (or something like that) could show the dimensions of an object.

cheers!

One other thing.. Anim8or has some nice rounding-features for numbers like in the Grid Settings dialogue, BUT it makes for a hard time doing accurate 1/16 inch (0,0625 in) measurements on an object when Anim8or rounds that value it to 0.06

Is that adjustable?

you can use CAD view (looks like a ruler) and debug A

Oh wow, CAD view has been updated to show legnths of selected lines and angles between them. (whoops, apparently this has been true since Dec 2017)

As for grid, just set it in grid settings.

Ohh… I see, yeah ok, it rounds back to 0.06 instead of 4dp.

davdud101: "Is the precision of the CAD numbers adjustable?" That's a good idea. I'll see if I can add an option for it.
