3D measuring types

In the 3D Measurement Tool palette, you can choose any of the following options from

the 3D Measure Type menu.

In Auto mode, the system tries to display the measurement that makes most sense given

the initial selection and the current pointer position. If you select a straight edge and then

move the pointer back over the same edge, then the length of that edge is shown. If you

select a straight edge and then move the pointer over an edge that is perpendicular to that

edge, the perpendicular distance between the two edges is shown. If you select a straight

edge and then move the pointer over an edge that is not perpendicular to that edge, the

angle between the two edges is shown. If you select a circular edge, the radius of that edge

In Ruler mode, only points may be selected to allow measuring between any two points on

In Distance mode, only distance measurements are taken when you select points and

In Radius mode, you can take radius measurements only by selecting either circular edges

or three points defining a circle.

In Angle mode, you can measure only the angle between two straight edges or three points.
