To perform a local resizing you need to edit a group or component. But we can also resize an object locally. Which means the whole model is resized which may not be the result you were after. You can continue entering different dimensions to resize the model as shown below. If you measure a distance by picking 2 points and then type the desired length you will be prompted if you want to resize the model. Measure mode also acts as a means to scale your model. Also don't forget that you can use SketchUp's Inference engine to force your measuring direction with your Arrow keys. To change to a new measuring point hit ESC and pick a new point to measure from. This is a great method to report measurements from a point to multiple points. If you press the CTRL key you toggle between Guide Create and Measure mode. You can visibly see this mode by the cursor's appearance. Once activated the cursor in the workspace changes to a Tape Measure icon that has 2 modes of measuring.īy default when you launch the Tape Measure tool it is in Guide Create mode. You can find SketchUp's Tape Measure tool in the Tools menu or via the Getting Started, Construction or Large Toolset toolbar. Drivetime is not returned because road speeds were all set to be the same to calculate the most direct route.Getting started with the Tape Measure tool in SketchUp When this method is selected, the drive distance is returned.

While this method of calculating distance takes the curvature of the Earth into consideration, it is not a routing routine and does not follow street patterns or honor physical barriers such as bodies of water.When the points are contained outside of the polygons, you can also choose to have the Distance tool calculate the Nearest Interior point within the nearest edge of a polygon.If the point is located inside of a polygon the Distance tool returns a negative number for the distance to the edge of the containing polygon. When the points are contained within the polygons, you can choose one of two options: Return a distance of zero, or Return the distance to the nearest edge.Point-to-edge (polygon ): The Distance tool calculates the distance between a set of point type spatial objects and the closest edge of a set of polygon type spatial objects.An example is calculating the distance from the records in a customer file (point type) to the nearest interstate highway (edge of line spatial type). Point-to-edge (line): The Distance tool calculates the distance between a set of point type spatial objects and the closest edge of a set of line type spatial objects.An example is calculating the distance from records in a customer file (point type) to records in a store file (point type). Point-to-point: The Distance tool calculates the distance between two sets of point type spatial objects.There are three types of distance calculation relationships available. Use Distance to calculate the ellipsoidal direct point-to-point, point-to-edge, or the drive distance between two sets of spatial objects.
