I have created a measure addon (mainly needed for my 3d printing purposes) that allows for snapping and locking the positions of the measurements. I have tried to implement it to work with vert/vert, edge/edge, face/face, and combinations between this. So it updates dynamically if I modify the meshes vert/face/edge positions.
It also works between objects.
It can also use axis restriction to snap to guide points.
I would need someone to test it and give some feedback on what to improve or if they can find any obvious bugs.
It seems nice.
Just watching the video, I’m thinking that a way to add an offset for the measure text to move the text from the measure line could be good to have.
And it should be per measure and not one offset for all.
Nice…actually I was thinking just at an offset for the text but you add something that problably it’s more useful.
In any case, now, my offset request for the text still valid as, as you can see at the yellow measure, the text “20.00 mm” is overlapping the yellow line, confusing a bit.
It’s the same issue I’ve with the edge lenght Blender feature that make the text difficult to read as it lean over the edge
Seems really good.
One more general question:
what’s your feature target for this addon?
I mean: do you want to give all the dimensions options that designers use when they produce technical drawings?
the features Ive added now are the ones missing from any other addon Ive found. I mainly created this for myself actually, since I often need to measure distances quickly when doing 3d printing, and dynamically being able to change.
Are there any features you think I should involve?
But, repeating my self, if you don’t want to offer an addon that could be useful to make dimensions for technical drawings, probably it’s enough what you’ve already developed.
Seems fairly accurate and straight-forward. But with a measuring line defined, I switched from metric to imperial, the measurement value didn’t change. Attached screenshot -also includes Bambu Labs measurement in Imperial.
