measure distance

Hello people, a somewhat non vray question, but well.

seems like 3dsmax version 9 you have to double click using the measure distance tool (tools > measure distance).
i find this very annoying, special using a wacom board :slight_smile: anyone who has an idea how to change this back to a normal single click?

Ooorr anyone who have some tips/scripts/stuff to have some better distance measuring in 3dsmax9 ??

thx in advance

been curiuos of this one:
http://www.werwackscripts.com/maxscript/wkmeasuretools/about.htm

haven’t tried it, but looks kinda cool. max 7/8 though, but since it is maxscript, it should work in 9 aswell…

might be a bit overkill, but i just thought i’d let you know

…ouch, just realized it ain’t free - oh well, if you got the money…

hmm i tested it a bit, not to happy about it :slight_smile:

i need something q bit quicker to use hehe, maybe i have an idea:
- is “measure distance” a script in maxscript?
- adjust tje script to my needs…

hmm maybe that’ll work

dunno realy

well it seems to have problems when using a wacom board, using a mouse will snap to verts just fine. by using a wacom you have to exacly hit the vertex or it wont get it… hmm
