3D Editor

Measure a Circle

Use the Editor’s Circle tool to measure a scene.

Before you start

Open a workspace scene in the 3D Editor.

Who can do this

Members with Editor access. Editing actions depend on your role and the shared view permissions.

Steps

  1. Open Measure in the Editor mode toolbar.
  2. Choose Circle from the measurement tools. If a Create fields dialog appears, complete the required fields first.
  3. Place three points on the edge of the circle. The third point completes the measurement.
  4. Select the new item in the Outliner to inspect or rename it. Save the scene when you want to keep the change.

What you should see

A circle measurement appears through the three selected points.

If something goes wrong

  • If the tool is unavailable, check that the scene has finished loading and that your access includes editing.
  • For an inaccurate result, check the scene measurement unit and move the markers or volume handles to the intended positions.
