A tool like SketchUp's Tape Measure Scaling?

[-andrew-]

Hi,

 

SketchUp has a tool that lets you measure something, then enter a dimension, and then you can scale the whole model so that the part you measured is the same length as the dimension you entered.

 

An example is drawing a building freeform without concern of scale. After modeling, you measure the door, and enter 7 feet; it asks if you want to scale the model, and then scales the entire model so that the door (in the new scale) is 7 feet high.

 

Is there an equivalent in FZ?

 

thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

Yes, the Measure tool in formZ does this too:

 

 

(Just measure the desired part first, enter the desired size, and click Update.)

 

Does that do what you want?

OH great! I didn't realize it had to be entered into the palette.

 

Thanks!

Form Z able to scale individual object. Sketch Up scale all the models in a drawing to the designated scale at once.

Just select all ... make sure selected entries is checked. Measure & update what you want they will all scale.
