measure tool in Wings?

#1

Does Wings have a measure tool, like in AutoCAD, Rhino or Sketchup? To measure the distance between two points, or an edge’s length, or the distance from a point to a plane and so on. I’m new to Wings and didn’t study it very thoroughly for the time being.

In wings:

Select any 2 verts - Distance between them displayed top left info, also xyz bounding box dimensions inside < xyz >

Select a single edge - Same as above + co-ords of midpoint of edge.

Select any 2 edges - Angle between edges

If you want to access similar info when elements are selected on > 1 object, select objects first and use Object | Combine first.

(Might also find the Move | Absolute tool useful, as the co-ords initially displayed in the dialogue box are those of the selection centre of whatever is selected - you therefore have a means of finding out (the co-ords of) something like a virtual centre - of an object like a torus)
