- [Instructor] Here I'm going to talk about the MeasureItem.
MeasureItem is similar to MeasureBetween.
The difference is that this allows you
to pick only one element,
whereas the MeasureBetween is between two elements.
Now you'll notice that I have the MeasureBetween
items and icons here as well, so you can go
to any one of these two and just simply select
the function you want to use.
You'll also notice that when I am on the MeasureItem,
the cursor looks like a pair of verniers or calipers.
Now with this, I can come in and specify an edge, a face,
a point, and it'll give me the information of that item.
Where it's at in space, in this case I have a radius.
If I go to the customize button, you'll notice
that I have several options here.
So, as far as arc goes, I can get the arc length,
I can angles, I can get diameter, so on and so forth.
Same thing with surfaces, planes, perimeters, volumes.
Select OK.
Now that edge is currently selected.
You'll see that I have my length of 142.942 millimeters,
my angle's 180 degrees, comes out and around.
There's my radius, obviously my diameter,
center point, location, and the start and end points,
where they're located.
So, if I come in, pick this edge,
you'll notice, 70 millimeters.
That is the actual length.
If you need to make a specific type of selection,
very similar to MeasureBetween, you come in,
select your mode.
I'm going to say Surface Only.
In this case, I'm going to pick this surface.
I get my surface area, I get my center of gravity,
and I my actual perimeter.
Again, that's under Customize, one of the options.
If you want information about the entire body,
again, just go to any geometry.
You can select the body out of the tree,
and it'll give you a little bit of information,
in this case, a volume.
Now I don't have a material set or anything,
so I'm not going to get too much information off of this,
but you are able to pick elements out of the tree as well.
So, I can come in here, and if I want to, I can say Point,
and I can be very specific about that vertex,
and it'll give me that location of that point.
