The following tools
are known as the measuring tools from the large tool box in SketchUp.
These tools are used to mention, measure and to create angles of an
object. Some examples are given below with explanations:-
DIMENSION:
This
tool helps to create a dimension line between the two points which
helps keeping a track of dimensions while making the whole model. It
shows the measurement above or on the dimension line in the unit
selected.
TAPE MEASURE:
As
the name given, the tape measure tool is used to measure the
distances. It can be used to scale the whole model made in SketchUp.
You just have to select the tape measure tool, then click on the
starting point from where to measure and as you drag towards the end
point to measure, it will constantly show the distance in the ‘Length
box’ shown below at the screen. It also creates guide lines by
clicking shift while taking measures with step one.
PROTRACTOR:
Protractor
tool is used to create a guide in the ratio of five to twelve that
can be used to get the angle we desire. This tool is a three click
process as on the first click is on the end point of the object, the
second click is the reference angle and the third click is for the
snap lines shown after every 15 degree increasement on the rotator
shown on the screen. You can also type the value in ratio and it will
draw the guide at that given angle.
