Hello
Is there a nice way to figure out dimensions/sizes of an object and where it is located while viewing?
Thank you
Object dimensions

Re: Object dimensions
Hi Frank
Yes there is a bunch of options.
See measurements in context menu. Point measurement will give you coordinates of a point.
To estimate dimensions I often press 'm' key (with focus on the DGK window) and click two points in empty area near the object.
Location of the object can be obtained from the Model Explorer ('q' or context menu).
Sometimes it is easier to create a box of known size via Model Explore > Action > New Object and use it as a ruler with moving using the "Position and Orientation" of the Explorer.
There is also measurement grid in the context menu.
Regards
