Re: Measure-tool - snap?

With the Dimension lines tool, double clicking on the side of a room, a wall or an object will create a dimension line measuring that side. Isn’t it more handy?

Absolutely! It works nice on objects for example a window, or a whole wall in a room. But if I want the measure from the corner to where the window start, it doesnt works just by double licking because then it still takes the whole wall even if its a window in the way. Or am I doing something wrong?

When the mous pointer is on the corner, there are some vertical and/or horizontal guide lines that should help you to click at the right point. Hope you can use them.

Re: Measure-tool - snap?

Apologies for replying to a thread from the past decade; I have the same question as OP, and the same lack of trust for my pixel-perfect clicking abilities.

I wish to measure the distance between two parallel walls:
- How can I make sure that the *first* click is precisely on the side of the wall?
- Even harder, as there are no guides in that case, how can I make sure this is also the case for the *second* click?

Thanks!
