Add Tape Measure

The Add Tape Measure tool allows you to measure between two points in the 3D window.

Note: Starting from version O/18 you can no longer modify the avatar's measurements in the Model Properties dialog, rather you have to modify the Avatar via the Avatar Editor. For more information, see Avatar Editor. You can still use the Add Tape Measure tool for viewing purposes; however, you will not be able to replace measures.
