Ruler tool, non procedurally measure a distance


Recommended Posts

You could add a line between the two points (with an add sop for instance) then append a measure sop.
Then you could add the "perimeter" attribute to the ones visualized in the viewport,
opening the menu with "d" while holding the cursor over the viewport, inside the "Visualizers" tab
Or look at the perimeter attribute in the spreadsheet.

unless that is what you mean by procedurally..
in that case I wouldn't really know how to do that non-procedurally.

Although, I guess if you really want, you could use the construction grid to measure the distance,
but you would have to align your objects in such a way that it lines up with the axes of the construction grid,
which seems more hassle than its worth.

Or you could build your own python tool of course.
