I am new to Navisworks, and start to use NWS Manage 2019, can anybody help how to measure distance between two parallel faces. I use Inventor all the time, hope NWS has same measuring tools as Inventor.

Hello @aliu Have you looked at the product help information?

  From  product help information

"You can use measuring tools to make linear, angular, and area measurements, and to automatically measure the shortest distance between two selected objects.

Looks like no solution for face to face measurement.

Thanks.

To Autodesk experts and developers,

Does the measuring tool mentioned above exist in NavisWorks Manage 2019 so far?

Thanks.

Maybe you can block the measurement as perpendicular and measure the distance? I apologize for the screenshot in a foreign language, but I think you can understand by the icons.

This link can help you.
