3D measurement tools

[jailln]

We are interested in having 3D measurement tools and in particular:

• a tool to mesure the elevation (terrain or 3D models) in the scene:

• a tool to mesure the distance and the height between two points:

I was thinking to add these tools as widgets. Would this be the good way to add such tools ?

Hi !
You're wright, the widgets would be a relevant place for this, as they theoretically should gather all user graphical tools and interface.
Moreover, the addition of a tool to pinpoint coordinates -including elevation- on the terrain would indeed be interesting. An extension of this tool to measure height and distance between two points would then be pretty straight forward -the most difficult part being displaying the rectangular triangle as the one shown in your second screenshot.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. I'm currently working on it on this branch. I still have a few things to improve but the main features are working.
