information about the measurement (such as the current measurement result and
scale ratio) and acts as a wizard for your measurement.
Measurement types:
• Select 3D Point to Point Measurement to measure the distance between
two points on the 3D model. Click the first point, move the pointer to the
second point, and click. Then the result information (the current
measurement result) appears. Move the pointer and click a third time
where you want to locate the result information.
• Select 3D Perpendicular Dimension to measure the perpendicular
distance between two straight edges that are parallel. Click the first point
on an edge, move the pointer to the second point on the other edge, and
click. Along with the result information, the line leaders on both sides of
the measurement points appear as you move the pointer. Move the
pointer and click a third time to determine the leader length and set the
location of the result information.
• Select 3D Radial Dimension to measure the radius of a circular part or a
round shape you specified/clicked. With the 3D Snap To Radial Edges
option enabled, move your cursor to the edge of a circular part so that a
circle appears, and double-click to confirm the measurement. Along with
the result information, an arrow appears as you move the pointer and
points to the measured circle. Move the pointer and click to set the location
of the result information. Without 3D Snap To Radial Edges option
enabled, click on three points to specify a round shape you want to
measure and then click to specify the location of the result information.
• Select 3D Angle Measurement to measure the angle between two edges
(or three points). Click three points (A, B, and C) on the 3D model to
measure the angle between the line BA and the line BC. Along with the
result information, the line leaders on both sides of the first and third
measurement points (A and C) appear as you move the pointer. Move the
pointer and click a third time to determine the leader length and set the
location of the result information.
Snapping types:
• 3D Snap To Edge Endpoints: snap to the endpoint of an edge when
moving the cursor toward the end of the edge.
• 3D Snap To Linear Edges: snap to a straight-line segment of an edge when
moving the cursor over the edge.
• 3D Snap To Radial Edges: snap to the circumference of a circular part
when moving the cursor over the circular part.
• 3D Snap To Silhouettes: snap to the silhouette for a part (the apparent
