Creating 3D Markup Measure Entities
When marking up 3D files, you can create markup measure entities. The measure options in Markup mode work slightly different than in View mode.
When measuring in Markup mode, the specified measurement lines and values are displayed on the current active markup layer as entities. These entities can be moved, resized, hidden or deleted.
AutoVue provides the option to "snap" to different entity types on the model.
In Markup mode, you can choose from several measurement options to create markup measure entities. You can access the measurement options from the Analysis > Measure menu. The options are:

Description
|
Angle
|
Measure the precise angle between three vertices or any two edges, planes or faces.
From toolbar click  icon.
|
Arc
|
Measure the precise radius, length and angle of any arc and calculate the center point location.
From toolbar click  icon.
|
Distance
|
Measure the precise distance between any two Vertex, Edge, Midedge, Arc Center or Face.
From toolbar click  icon.
|
Minimum Distance
|
Measure minimum distance between any two Vertex, Edge, Midedge, Arc Center or Face.
From toolbar click  icon.
Note You cannot create a Markup measure entity when measuring minimum distance.
|
Edge Length
|
Measure the precise length of a edge.
From toolbar click  icon.
Note You cannot create a Markup measure entity when measuring the length of an edge.
|
Face Surface
|
Measure the precise surface area.
From the toolbar click  icon.
Note You cannot create a Markup measure entity when measuring surface area.
|
Vertex Coordinates
|
Provide the coordinates of each vertex.
