Thanks for using Measure and Scale!
Nice work!
Units are off they should say 1.0mm not 1000mm

Great addon. If I could put a feature request;
Would it be possible to add a checkbox in the Npanel to scale using the first measure point as the origin? For example if I scale the default cube down to 500mm, it would using the first selected point as the anchor point. (A bit like the scale cage operator).
Useful for example if you wanted to scale down objects, but keep them on the floor, instead of floating in the mid point.
Cheers, G
Thanks for the add‑on — it’s been really helpful. I made a small adjustment to the code by adding an extra argument to a few functions, including convert_to_display_unit:
def convert_to_display_unit(value_internal, settings, scale_length=1.0):
value_meters = value_internal * scale_length
This ensures that when a user works with a different unit scale, the conversion properly accounts for that scale, which wasn’t happening before.
a couple of requests..
ability to scale in single axis (x, y, z) and scale along measure direction.
