Display more decimals

[schafe]

How do I get the length to display more decimal places?

Thanks

Change some C integers and recompile Blender

[schafe]

Um, what?

Sorry I’m a long way from understanding that.

Joseph was joking – the practical answer is that he thinks you can’t.

[schafe]

Ok. Can you?

[piranha4D (Pir)]

No, sorry, I don’t know any way to do that (I would have told you), and I generally expect Joseph to know what he’s talking about.

I don’t even know what exactly you are doing there. What are you using that gives you that measurement? I see you have 3D-Print on the Npanel, is that it? Maybe whatever add-on this is has a precision setting?

You can’t, but you can work with micrometers, which would give you more precision than using more decimals, right? I mean, what could be more precise than dividing a millimeter by 1k?

The (shipped with ) MeasureIt addon can do this:

I was hoping for something that would be automatic, but this will work.

Thanks
