Measuring Elements with the Tape Measure

The Tape Measure tool provides a quick way to measure and temporarily display the length (and angle from
the horizontal, if applicable) of individual walls or lines that you select in plan views. In elevation views,
you can use this tool to select only the ends of walls running perpendicular to the view direction (to display
the height of the wall). In both plan and elevation views, however, you can draw a temporary line or a chain
of lines connecting points that you specify. In either case, the dimensions generated by the tool remain on
the screen until you start the next measurement or exit the tool. Length dimensions also display in the Total
Length box on the Options Bar.
