Measure Distance and Angle script

BradCarsten

Here's a quick script to measure the distance between 2 object (in cm)  or the angle between 3 objects (in degrees)

It was requested in the following thread, but I decided to add it to the freebies section as well in case anyone else wants it. 

This should be quite useful for working out DOF etc

Drag it into a folder eg "My Library" folder (In Windows it's usually in Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library ).

This is where you'll then find it in your library: 

Once you've added it to your library- how do you use it? 

Simply select 2 Nodes(Objects) and run the script and it'll measure the distance between them. 

Select 3 nodes to measure the angle.

(if you would like to change the order, just create a group and then add the 3 items to the group in which ever order you'd like them to appear- I don't know if there's an easier way, but that seems to work) 

Unfortunately because it's a script and not a plugin, you won't get realtime feedback as you move the objects around.
