Thickness

The Thickness command allows you to measure the thickness of an object at any point on its surface, providing precise and visual information about its thickness.

  1. Object Selection
    When the command is activated, you are prompted to select the object for thickness measurement.
  2. Thickness Measurement
    Once the object is selected, you can measure the thickness at any point on its surface.
    • As you move the cursor over the surface, the command automatically calculates the thickness from the selected point in the direction of its normal.
    • A visual line is displayed, indicating the direction of the normal and the path used for the measurement.
  3. Thickness Marking
    At the desired point, clicking the mouse will place a text marker in the viewport showing the thickness measurement at that location. This allows you to record thickness values at multiple points on the object for future reference.
