3D Editor

Place a Point measurement

Use the Editor’s Point 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 Point from the measurement tools. If a Create fields dialog appears, complete the required fields first.
  3. Click the position whose coordinates you need. One marker completes this tool.
  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 point marker and its coordinates appear in the scene.

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.
