Measuring in 3D Files
AutoVue provides the ability to perform measurements in 3D files. When measuring, AutoVue provides the option to “snap” to different entity types on the model.
From the Analysis menu, select Measure to access the Measurement options.
Note: From the AutoVue toolbar, you can also click Measure 
.
The following table outlines the available measuring options:

Angle
|
Measure the precise angle between any three vertices or any two edges, planes, faces or any combination of these entity types.
|
|
Arc
|
Measure the precise radius, length and angle of any arc and calculate the center point.
|
|
Distance
|
Measure the precise distance between any two vertices, edges, mid-edges, arc centers, faces or any combination of these entity types.
|
|
Minimum Distance
|
Measure minimum distance between any two vertices, edges, mid-edges, arc centers, faces or any combination of these entity types.
|
|
Edge Length
|
Measure the precise length of a edge.
